Abstract
En 中文
The swath segment selection problem (SSSP) is an. NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising in the context of planning and scheduling satellite operations. It was defined by Muraoka et al. [ASTER observation scheduling algorithm. In: Proceedings Of SpaceOps 1998, Tokyo, Japan, 1998] and Knight and Smith [Optimal nadir observation scheduling. In: Proceedings of the fourth international workshop on planning and scheduling for space (IWPSS 2004), Darmstadt, Germany, 2004], who respectively proposed a greedy algorithm, named ASTER, and a branch-and-bound algorithm based on a network flow relaxation. Here we tackle the problem with more advanced mathematical programming tools: using a Lagrangean relaxation, coupled with a Lagrangean heuristic and subgradient optimization, we solve in one hour instances with up to 500000 swath segments within 0.4% of the optimum. The algorithm also proves experimentally superior to commercial MIP solvers in computing heuristic solutions. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
