read_qaplib: Read QAPLIB Files

In qap: Heuristics for the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP)

Read QAPLIB Files

Description

Reads example file in the format used by QAPLIB.

Usage

read_qaplib(file)

Arguments

file	file name.

Details

Problems end with the extension .dat and solutions with .sln. The code tries to read the problem and, if available in the same directory, it also reads the solution and the known optimal value from the solution file.

The package contains a copy of the problem instances and solutions from QAPLIB. The data is stored in the package in directory qaplib.

Value

Returns a list with the components

D	distance matrix.
W	weight matrix.
solution	a known optimal solution (if available).
opt	known optimal value (if available).
