The metric travelling salesman problem: pareto-optimal heuristic algorithms
The Metric Travelling Salesman Problem is a subcase of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP), where the triangle inequality holds. It is a key problem in combinatorial optimization. Solutions of the Metric TSP are generally used for costs minimization tasks in logistics, manufacturing and genetics. Since this problem is NP-hard, heuristic algorithms providing near optimal solutions in polynomia...
متن کاملImprovements to the Or-opt heuristic for the symmetric travelling salesman problem
Several variants and generalizations of the Or-opt heuristic for the Symmetric Traveling Salesman Problem are developed and compared on random and planar instances. Some of the proposed algorithms are shown to significantly improve upon the standard 2-opt and Or-opt heuristics.
متن کاملAn Analysis of the Fitness Landscape of Travelling Salesman Problem
The fitness landscape of the travelling salesman problem is investigated for 11 different types of the problem. The types differ in how the distances between cities are generated. Many different properties of the landscape are studied. The properties chosen are all potentially relevant to choosing an appropriate search algorithm. The analysis includes a scaling study of the time to reach a loca...
متن کاملThe multi-stripe travelling salesman problem
In the classical Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP), the objective function sums the costs for travelling from one city to the next city along the tour. In the q-stripe TSP with [Formula: see text], the objective function sums the costs for travelling from one city to each of the next q cities in the tour. The resulting q-stripe TSP generalizes the TSP and forms a special case of the quadratic a...
متن کاملAnt colonies for the travelling salesman problem.
We describe an artificial ant colony capable of solving the travelling salesman problem (TSP). Ants of the artificial colony are able to generate successively shorter feasible tours by using information accumulated in the form of a pheromone trail deposited on the edges of the TSP graph. Computer simulations demonstrate that the artificial ant colony is capable of generating good solutions to b...
