Tabu Lists

(Related publications: [PUBLink] [PUBLink])

The figures below show experiments using a tabu list with a length of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 for the global search control's constraint selection (based on tabu search [PUBLink]). Each selected constraint is stored in a first-in-first-out list and blocked for another selection as long as it is a member of the list.



Applying tabu lists proves absolutely pointless. Even for the nonrandomized NgNmNt version, it makes no difference.
