A Multilevel Approach to the Travelling Salesman Problem
We motivate, derive and implement a multilevel approach to the travelling salesman problem. The resulting algorithm progressively coarsens the problem, initialises a tour and then employs either the LinKernighan (LK) or the Chained Lin-Kernighan (CLK) algorithm to refine the solution on each of the coarsened problems in reverse order. In experiments on a well established test suite of 79 proble...
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 کاملAdapting the Genetic Algorithm to the Travelling Salesman Problem
The combination of local optimisation heuristics and genetic algorithms has been shown to be an effective approach for finding near-optimum solutions to the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). In problem domains where the problem can be represented geometrically, such as networks and chemical structures, the combination of local optimisation operators and phenotype genetic operators has also bee...
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...
متن کاملApproaches to the Travelling Salesman Problem Using Evolutionary Computing Algorithms
Genetic algorithms (GAs) were developed as problem independent search algorithms (Goldberg, 1989; Holland, 1975; Man et al., 1999), which simulate the biological evolution to search for an optimal solution to a problem. Figure 1(a) shows the main processes of genetic algorithms. When developing a genetic algorithm, we analyze the properties of the problem and determine the “gene encoding” polic...
