Abstract

Relaxation techniques play a great role in solving the quadratic assignment problem, among which the convex quadratic programming bound (QPB) is competitive with existing bounds in the trade-off between cost and quality. In this article, we propose two new lower bounds based on QPB. The first dominates QPB at a high computational cost, which is shown equivalent to the recent second-order cone programming bound. The second is strictly tighter than QPB in most cases, while it is solved as easily as QPB.
