The effectiveness of common metaheuristics on combinatorial optimisation problems can be limited by certain characteristics of the fitness landscape. We use the local optima network model to compress the 'inherent structure' of a problem space into a... Read More about The effect of landscape funnels in QAPLIB instances.

The existence of sub-optimal funnels in combinatorial fitness landscapes has been linked to search difficulty. The exact nature of these structures --- and how commonly they appear --- is not yet fully understood. Improving our understanding of funne...
