Path-relinking with tabu search for the capacitated centered clustering problem

作者:

Highlights:

• The CCCP is a new class of NP-Hard problem with high-quality research evolved.

• A framework of classical metaheuristic was composed to solve CCCP instances.

• Our methodology outperforms the best results obtained from the literature.

• We show its robustness by an exhaustive performance evaluation.

• We introduce Score-Table to compare methods and use it to show the superiority.
