Abstract

Combinatorial optimization problems with multiple objectives are, in general, more realistic representations of practical situations than their counterparts with a single-objective. The bi-objective minimum spanning tree problem is a NP-hard problem with applications in network design. In this paper a memetic algorithm is presented to solve this problem. A computational experiment compares the proposed approach with AESSEA, a known algorithm of the literature. The comparison of the algorithms is done with basis on the binary additive (-indicator. The results show that the proposed algorithm consistently produces better solutions than the other method.
