Two Reformulations for the Dynamic Quadratic Assignment Problem

Sirirat Muenvanichakul and Peerayuth Charnsethikul

Abstract

Problem statement: The Dynamic Quadratic Assignment Problem (DQAP), an NP-hard problem, is outlined and reformulated in two alternative models: Linearized model and logic-based model. Approach: The solution methods for both models based on combinatorial methods (Benders’ Decomposition and Approximate Dynamic Programming) and constraint logic programming, respectively, are proposed. Results: Proofs of model equivalence and solution methodology are presented. Conclusion: Both proposed models are more simplified leading to possible hybrid adaptations of existing techniques for more practical approaches.
