, which is used to generate initial solutions in the hybrid search algorithm for the minimum sum coloring problem (see Chapter 4). Given a graph G, the MIS aims to determine a subset S ? V of maximum cardinality such that no two vertices of S are adjacent. SBTS integrates distinguished features including a general and unified (k, 1)-swap operator, four constrained neighborhoods and specific rules for neighborhood exploration. Extensive evaluations on two popular benchmarks (DIMACS and BHOSLIB) of 120 instances show that SBTS attains the best-known results for all the instances with very different structures and topologies. The best-known results are also attained on an additional set of 11 real instances from code theory, SBTS: Swap-Based Tabu Search for maximum independent set This Appendix presents a general swap-based tabu search (SBTS) heuristic for the maximum independent set problem (MIS), 2015.

Indeed, given that these instances have very different characteristics and structures, it is known that it is very difficult for a single heuristic to perform well on all the instances

For the group "MANN", MN/TS, BLS and PLS cannot reach the best-known results for MANN_a45 (345) and MANN_a81 (1100).
