Two Neighbourhood-based Approaches for the Set Covering Problem

The Set Covering Problem is a well-known NP-complete problem which we address in this work. Due to its combinatorial nature heuristic methods, namely neighbourhood-based meta-heuristics, were used. Based on the well-known algorithms GRASP, Simulated Annealing and Variable Neighbourhood Descend, alon...
