Abstract

In this paper, we deal with a particular layout problem of graph: the Minimum Linear Arrangement Problem (MinLA). A new Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) is presented here with knowledge-based operator designed to search the solution space. The proposed technique is a hybrid approach, which incorporates Simulated Annealing (SA) into the selection process of EA. It also utilises the features of level structure, Depth First Search (DFS), Frontal Increase Minimisation (FIM) method and Spectral Sequencing (SS) of the graphs. The proposed technique produces results that are well comparable with the existing approaches known for their good results.
