Freeland–Colley

Freeland–Colley

Class: ULSAlgorithms.Heuristics.FreelandColleySolver

Family: Marginal-cost
Time: O(T)
Memory: O(T)
Applicability: Stationary setup, production and relevant holding costs

Description

Freeland–Colley is a fast ULS heuristic in the Marginal-cost family. It constructs a feasible replenishment plan without claiming an optimality proof. Use it only when the documented applicability conditions match the instance.

Minimal API

IUlsSolver solver = new FreelandColleySolver();
UlsSolveResult result = solver.Solve(problem);
