Abstract:Six greedy primal selection rules are evaluated on a class of generalized set packing models. The evaluation is conducted in accordance with experimental design methodologies proposed by Lin and Rardin. Results indicate that the simplest of rules performs best, except when the model constraints exhibit “mixed” slackness. In this case, the rule proposed earlier by Fox and Scudder performs best. The results clarify and add detail to previous work by Fox and Scudder.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
