Abstract

We consider a special formulation of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP): QAP-SAT, where the QAP is composed of smaller sub-problems or clauses which can be satisfied. A recent study showed a steep drop in solvability in relation to the number of clauses in QAP-SAT and robust taboo seach. In this work we characterise the nature of the solvability curves for this new class of QAP instances.
