heuropt 0.11.0

A practical Rust toolkit for heuristic single-, multi-, and many-objective optimization.
Documentation
//! Single-machine job-shop scheduling: minimize total weighted
//! completion time given per-job processing times and due-date weights.
//!
//! The decision is a permutation `Vec<usize>` — the order in which
//! jobs are processed. We use `SimulatedAnnealing` paired with
//! `SwapMutation` (the standard generic-permutation pair).
//!
//! Demonstrates:
//! - Permutation decisions (`Vec<usize>`).
//! - Simulated annealing with a custom `Initializer` that produces a
//!   randomly shuffled identity permutation.
//! - `SwapMutation` preserving the permutation invariant for free.
//!
//! Run with: `cargo run --release --example scheduling`
