Résumé en
anglais

This paper presents the first population-based path relinking algorithm for solving the
NP-hard vertex separator problem in graphs. The proposed algorithm employs a
dedicated relinking procedure to generate intermediate solutions between an
initiating solution and a guiding solution taken from a reference set of elite solutions
(population) and uses a fast tabu search procedure to improve some selected
intermediate solutions. Special care is taken to ensure the diversity of the reference
set. Dedicated data structures based on bucket sorting are employed to ensure a high
computational efficiency. The proposed algorithm is assessed on four sets of 365
benchmark instances with up to 20,000 vertices, and shows highly comparative
results compared to the state-of-the-art methods in the literature. Specifically, we
report improved best solutions (new upper bounds) for 67 instances which can serve
as reference values for assessment of other algorithms for the problem.
