Abstract

The classical linear Assignment problem is considered with two objectives. The aim is to generate the set of efficient solutions. An exact method is first developed based on the two-phase approach. In the second phase a new upper bound is proposed so that larger instances can be solved exactly. The so-called MOSA (Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing) is then recalled; its efficiency is improved by initialization with a greedy approach. Its results are compared to those obtained with the exact method. Extensive numerical experiments have been realized to measure the performance of the MOSA method.
