摘要:In this paper Roman and weak Roman domination problems on graphs
are considered. Given that both problems are NP hard, a new heuristic approach,
based on a Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS), is presented. The presented
algorithm is tested on instances known from the literature, with up to 600 vertices.
The VNS approach is justied since it was able to achieve an optimal solution value
on the majority of instances where the optimal solution value is known. Also, for
the majority of instances where optimization solvers found a solution value but
were unable to prove it to be optimal, the VNS algorithm achieves an even better
solution value.
