Abstract: The definition of local optimum solution of the discrete optimization is first given.and then a comprehensive combinatorial algorithm is proposed in this paper. Two-leveloptimum method is used in the algorithm. In the first level optimization, anapproximate local optimum solution is found by using the heuristic algorithm,relative difference quotient algorithm. with high computational efficiency and highperformance demonstrated by the performance test of random samples. In the secondlevel, a mathematical model of (-1, 0, 1) programming is established first, and then itis changed into (0, 1) programming model. The local optimum solution X* will befrom the (0, 1) programming by using the delimitative and combinatorial algorithm orthe relative difference quotient algorithm. By this algorithm, the local optimumsolution can be obtained certainly, and a method is provnded to judge whether or notthe approximate optimum solution obtained by heuristic algorithm is an optimumsolution. The above comprehensive combinatorial algorithm has higher computationalefficiency.
