“…The development of metaheuristic algorithms for bandwidth reduction began in the 1990s (Chagas & Gonzaga de Oliveira, 2015). Researchers have designed heuristics with the most different metaheuristics, including GRASP-PR (Piñana et al, 2004), genetic algorithm (Lim et al, 2006Czibula et al, 2013;Pop et al, 2014), simulated annealing (Rodriguez-Tello et al, 2008Torres-Jimenez et al, 2015), ant colony optimization (Kaveh & Sharafi, 2009;Pintea et al, 2010Pintea et al, , 2012Czibula et al, 2013;Guan et al, 2019;Gonzaga de Oliveira & Silva, 2019, variable neighborhood search (Mladenovic et al, 2010), genetic programming (Koohestani & Poli, 2011, charged system search algorithm (Kaveh & Sharafi, 2012), colliding bodies optimization (Kaveh & Bijari, 2015), brain storm optimization (Mafteiu-Scai et al, 2017, biased random-key genetic algorithm (Silva et al, 2020), and iterated local search (Gonzaga de Oliveira & Carvalho, 2022).…”
