AGeneralLargeNeighborhoodSearchFramework forSolvingIntegerLinearPrograms
We focus on solving integer linear programs, and ground our approach in the large neighborhood search (LNS) paradigm, which iteratively chooses a subset of variables to optimize while leaving the remainder fixed. The appeal of LNS is that it can easily use any existing solver as a subroutine, and thus can inherit the benefits of carefully engineered heuristic or complete approaches and their software implementations.
