Prioritizing Search Space Regions in the Low Autocorrelation Binary Sequences Problem

- 将搜索空间分块建模为多臂老虎机,用汤普森采样自适应分配资源
- 在450≤L≤527及L=573共35个长度上刷新最优结果,最长序列优值超8.0
- 适合需要高优值二元序列的通信与导航系统设计者
低自相关二元序列问题(LABS)是具有重要应用价值的难解组合优化问题,广泛应用于通信、信号处理和卫星导航。本文提出一种混合搜索框架,结合汤普森采样与并行自避行走,自适应地在LABS搜索空间的限制类别间分配计算资源。通过将分区视为多臂老虎机中的臂,该方法动态将资源向实测产生更高优值因子的分区倾斜,同时保持对未充分采样区域的探索。方法进一步通过GPU并行执行、共享后验更新、高效邻域评估和布隆过滤器防环机制加速。此外,采用两阶段优化策略:先在受限的分块反对称空间中搜索,再在无约束空间中精炼最优候选。实验表明,该方法在长序列上显著优于已有成果,在35个长度(450≤L≤527及L=573)上取得新纪录,尤其在L=451时获得优值超过8.0的最长序列。结果验证了汤普森采样在优先选择表现更优分区上的有效性,证实了在线数据驱动资源分配在LABS优化中的价值。整体框架为高性能优值因子最大化提供了可扩展且高效的新策略。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Low autocorrelation binary sequences problem (LABS) is a hard combinatorial optimization challenge with important applications in communications, signal processing, and satellite navigation. This paper proposes a hybrid search framework that combines Thompson sampling with parallel self-avoiding walks to adaptively allocate computational effort across restriction classes of the LABS search space. By modeling partitions as arms in a multi-armed bandit setting, the proposed method dynamically shifts search resources toward partitions that empirically produce higher merit factors while maintaining exploration of less-sampled regions. The approach is further accelerated through GPU-parallel execution, shared posterior updates, efficient neighborhood evaluation, and a Bloom filter for cycle prevention. In addition, we use a two-stage optimization strategy that first searches constrained partitioned skew-symmetric spaces and then refines the best candidates in the unrestricted space. Experiments on long binary sequences show that the proposed method improves the previously best-known results for 35 sequence lengths in the range $450 \le L \le 527$ and for $L=573$. In particular, we report a new longest sequence with merit factor exceeding $8.0$, obtained for $L=451$. The results also show that Thompson sampling effectively prioritizes partitions with better observed performance, confirming the value of online, data-driven resource allocation in LABS optimization. Overall, the proposed framework provides a scalable and effective strategy for high-performance merit factor maximization.
