Detailed Description

Move to be operated on a feasible solution.

You must implement this (one or more types are allowed) for your problem.

You must provide an apply as well as an evaluate method.

NOTE: this interface changed from 0.4.x to 0.5.x. The change was needed to provide a more general interface.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void mets::move::apply ( feasible_solution sol) const
pure virtual

Operates this move on sol.

This should actually change the solution.

Implemented in mets::invert_subsequence, and mets::swap_elements.

virtual gol_type mets::move::evaluate ( const feasible_solution sol) const
pure virtual

Evaluate the cost after the move.

What if we make this move? Local searches can be speed up by a substantial amount if we are able to efficiently evaluate the cost of the neighboring solutions without actually changing the solution.

Implemented in mets::invert_subsequence, and mets::swap_elements.
