Solving Travelling Salesman Problem using Clustering Genetic Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
Solving NP hard problem like Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a major challenge faced by analysts even though many techniques are available. Many versions of Genetic Algorithms are introduced by researchers to improve its performance in solving TSP. Clustering Genetic Algorithm (CGA) was recently introduced and this paper analyzes the results obtained by implementing it for TSP. It is observed that CGA effectively finds out more optimal solution sooner than the Standard Genetic Algorithm (SGA) in 3 different instances considered. KeywordsGenetic algorithms, Travelling Salesman Problem, Clustering genetic algorithms, Convergence Velocity.

A CONSTRAINED SOLID TSP IN FUZZY ENVIRONMENT: TWO HEURISTIC APPROACHES
A solid travelling salesman problem (STSP) is a travelling salesman problem (TSP) where the salesman visits all the cities only once in his tour using dierent conveyances to travel from one city to another. Costs and environmental eect factors for travelling between the cities using dierent conveyances are dierent. Goal of the problem is to nd a complete tour with minimum cost that damages the ...
متن کاملHierarchical Clustering and Genetic Algorithm
The Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP) is one of the most intensively studied problem in computational mathematics. To solve this problem a number of algorithms have been developed using genetic algorithms. But these algorithms are not so suitable for solving large-scale TSP. This paper proposes a new solution for TSP using hierarchical clustering and genetic algorithm. Keywords— Traveling Salesma...

We describe a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for combinatorial optimization problems with a specific reference to the travelling salesman problem (TSP). The method is a combination of a genetic algorithm (GA) and greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP). A new adaptive fuzzy a greedy search operator is developed for this hybrid method.

متن کاملClustering Evolutionary Computation for Solving Travelling Salesman Problems
This paper proposes the methods for solving the traveling salesman problems using clustering techniques and evolutionary methods. Gaussian mixer model and K-means clustering are two clustering techniques that are considered in this paper. The traveling salesman problems are clustered in order to group the nearest nodes in the problems. Then, the evolutionary methods are applied to each cluster....
