Abstract
Motivated by a real-world vehicle routing application, we consider the maximum-weight independent set problem: Given a node-weighted graph, find a set of independent (mutually nonadjacent) nodes whose node-weight sum is maximum. Some of the graphs arising in the vehicle routing application are large, having hundreds of thousands of nodes and hundreds of millions of edges. To solve instances of this size, we develop a new local search algorithm, which is a metaheuristic based on the greedy randomized adaptive search (GRASP) framework. This algorithm, named METAMIS, uses a wider range of simple local search operations than previously described in the literature. We introduce data structures that make these operations efficient. A new variant of path-relinking is introduced to escape local optima and so is a new alternating augmenting-path local search move that improves algorithm performance. We compare an implementation of our algorithm with a state-of-the-art publicly available code on public benchmark sets, including some large instances. Our algorithm is, in general, competitive and outperforms this openly available code on large vehicle routing instances of the maximum weight independent set problem. We hope that our results will lead to even better maximum-weight independent set algorithms.
