Abstract

The linear ordering problem (LOP) consists in rearranging the rows and columns of a given square matrix such that the sum of the super-diagonal entries is as large as possible. The LOP has a significant number of important practical applications. In this paper we describe an efficient genetic programming based algorithm, designed to find high quality solutions for LOP. The computational results obtained for two sets of benchmark instances indicate that our proposed heuristic is competitive to previous methods for solving the LOP.
