Abstract

We report the progress of our project of solving large-scale Quadratic Assignment Problems (QAPs). We present a method that efficiently computes global lower bounds for QAPs by employing the Newton-bracketing method along with Lagrangian doubly nonnegative (DNN) relaxation. The integration of auxiliary information derived from the Newton-bracketing method, combined with the checkpoint mechanism of the parallelization framework Ubiquity Generator (UG), enables the determination of strong global lower bounds for large QAPs. This method has led to the improvement of lower bounds for several unsolved problems listed in QAPLIB, the standard benchmark for QAPs.
