An Efficient Local Search Algorithm for the Minimum $k$ -Dominating Set Problem
IEEE Access(2018)
摘要
The minimum
$k$
-dominating set (MKDS) problem, a generalization of the classical minimum dominating set problem, is an important NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem with various applications. First, to alleviate the cycling problem in the local search, a MKDS two-level configuration checking (MKDSCC
2
) strategy is presented. Second, we use the vertex cost scheme to define the scoring mechanism and to improve the solution effectively. Third, by combining MKDSCC
2
strategy and the scoring mechanism, we propose a vertex selection strategy to decide which vertex should be added into or removed from the candidate solution. Based on these strategies, an efficient local search algorithm (VSCC
2
), which incorporates a two-level configuration checking strategy, scoring mechanism, and vertex selection strategy, is proposed. We compare the performance of VSCC
2
with the classic GRASP algorithm and the famous commercial solver CPLEX on the classical instances. The comprehensive results show that the VSCC
2
algorithm is very competitive in terms of solution quality and computing time.
