Given a set of objects of different size and a finite number of bins of a given capacity. The problem consists in packing the set of objects so as to minimize the number of used bins. ” The first fit greedy heuristic places each item into the first bin in which it will fit. The complexity of the first fit algorithm is (n · log(n)). An example of a good approximation algorithm for the bin packing problem is obtained by the first fit descending heuristic (FFD), which first sorts the objects into decreasing order by size: 11 opt + 1 9 where opt is the number of bins given by the optimal solution.
The minimum spanning tree problem belongs to class P, in terms of complexity. Given a connected graph G = (V, E). With each edge e ∈ E is associated a cost ce . The problem is to find a spanning tree T = (V, T ) in graph G that minimizes the total cost f (T ) = ce . For this problem, set E is defined by the edges e∈T and set F is defined by all subsets of E that are trees. The local heuristic used consists in choosing first the least costly edges. 11 Illustrating a greedy algorithm for the knapsack problem.
There are various sources of noise. For instance, the use of a stochastic simulator or an inherently noisy measurement device such as sensors will introduce an additive noise in the objective function. For a given solution x in the search space, a noisy objective function can be defined mathematically as follows: fnoisy (x) = +∞ −∞ [f (x) + z]p(z)dz where p(z) represents the probability distribution of the additive noise z. The additive noise z is mostly assumed to be normally distributed N(0, σ) with zero mean and a σ variance [414].
