چکیده

Multi-objective traveling salesman problem (MOTSP) is an extended instance of traveling salesman problem (TSP), which is a well-known NP hard problem. In this paper, an improved NSGA-II algorithm (denoted by INSGA-II-MOTSP) is proposed to solve the MOTSP. Specifically, a layer strategy according to need is proposed to avoid generating unnecessary non-dominated fronts. The arena’s principle is also adopted to construct non-dominated set, so as to reduce the count of dominance comparison. In addition, an order crossover like operator and an inversion mutation operator are adopted for MOTSP. The experiment results show that the proposed INSGA-II-MOTSP algorithm is able to find better spread of solutions compared to other three algorithms.

New Heuristic Algorithms for Solving Single-Vehicle and Multi-Vehicle Generalized Traveling Salesman Problems (GTSP)

Among numerous NP-hard problems, the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has been one of the most explored, yet unknown one. Even a minor modification changes the problem’s status, calling for a different solution. The Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem (GTSP)expands the TSP to a much more complicated form, replacing single nodes with a group or cluster of nodes, where the objective is to fi...

Minimizing the total tardiness and makespan in an open shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times

We consider an open shop scheduling problem with setup and processing times separately such that not only the setup times are dependent on the machines, but also they are dependent on the sequence of jobs that should be processed on a machine. A novel bi-objective mathematical programming is designed in order to minimize the total tardiness and the makespan. Among several mult...

Solving the Traveling Salesman Problem by an Efficient Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is the problem of finding the shortest tour through all the nodes that a salesman has to visit. The TSP is probably the most famous and extensively studied problem in the field of combinatorial optimization. Because this problem is an NP-hard problem, practical large-scale instances cannot be solved by exact algorithms within acceptable computational times. ...
