Abstract

The maximum diversity problem (MDP) is a challenging NP-hard problem with a wide range of real applications. Several researchers have pointed out close relationship between the MDP and unconstrained binary quadratic program (UBQP). In this paper, we provide procedures to solve MDP ideas from the UBQP formulation of the problem. We first give some local optimality results for r-flip improvement procedures on MDP. Then, a set of highly effective diversification approaches based on sequential improvement steps for MDP are presented. Four versions of the approaches are used within a simple tabu search and applied to 140 benchmark MDP problems available on the Internet. The procedures solve all 80 small- to medium-sized problems instantly to the best known solutions. For 22 of the 60 large problems, the procedures improved by significant amounts the best known solutions in reasonably short CPU time.
