This paper introduces a refined evaluation function, called , for the Minimum Linear Arrangement problem (MinLA). Compared with the classical evaluation function (LA), integrates additional in- formation contained in an arrangement to distinguish arrangements with the same LA value. The main characteristics ofare analyzed and its practical usefulness is assessed within both a Steepest Descent (SD) al- gorithm and a Memetic Algorithm (MA). Experiments show that the use ofallows to boost the performance of SD and MA, leading to the improvement on some previous best known solutions.
