  • Abstract
    Some scheduling problems, including the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP), have a "big valley" search landscape: the best solutions have common building blocks, so crossover works well. Unfortunately, in a realistic single-machine problem (TSP with batching, sequence-dependent setups, and multi-level precedence constraints) the best solutions have little in common. A mutation-only approach works better
