M. G. C. Resende and R. M. A. Silva

Submitted to Encyclopedia of Operations Research and Management Sciences,  2009.

ABSTRACT

GRASP, or greedy randomized adaptive search procedure, is a multi-start metaheuristic that repeatedly applies local search starting from solutions constructed by a randomized greedy algorithm. In this chapter we review the basic building blocks of GRASP. We cover solution construction schemes, local search methods, and hybridization with path-relinking.
