Extended Memetic Algorithm for the LOP¨

This repository contains the implementation of extensions to the Memetic Algorithm with Explicit Diversity Management (MA-EDM) for solving the Linear Ordering Problem (LOP). It includes several algorithmic variations, such as MA-EDMei and PMA-EDMei, which incorporate enhanced intensification techniques and parallelization. Additionally, the repository provides links to the benchmark instances used in the experiments, the best-known solutions (BKS) obtained during the study, and execution instructions for running different solvers, including state-of-the-art algorithms. The methods implemented here contribute to advancing heuristic approaches for LOP optimization.
