Time-Adaptive Simulated Annealing with Exact-Window Optimization for the Single-Row Facility Layout Problem
The single-row facility layout problem (SRFLP) orders unequal-length facilities on a line to minimize flow-weighted center distances. We present a time-adaptive multi-start simulated annealing (AMSA) framework that coordinates one spectral start, randomized restarts, incremental insertion and interchange moves, variabl...
