چکیده
Memetic Algorithms have been proven to be successful to find the nearest optimum solution to hard combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, Memetic algorithm is designed for Asymmetric Traveling salesman problem (ATSP). Memetic Algorithm is a combination of power of Genetic algorithm with the powerful local search technique to focus on the population of local optima. Because of performing local search on each chromosome, it is guaranteed to give near to optimal solution than Genetic Algorithm. Keywords— Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (ATSP), Distance Preserving Crossover (DPX), Genetic Algorithm, Memetic Algorithm, Local Search.

Genetic Algorithm with Optimal Recombination for the Asymmetric Travelling Salesman Problem
We propose a new genetic algorithm with optimal recombination for the asymmetric instances of travelling salesman problem. The algorithm incorporates several new features that contribute to its effectiveness: (i) Optimal recombination problem is solved within crossover operator. (ii) A new mutation operator performs a random jump within 3-opt or 4-opt neighborhood. (iii) Greedy constructive heu...
متن کاملA 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 کاملSolving the Free Clustered TSP Using a Memetic Algorithm
The free clustered travelling salesman problem (FCTSP) is an extension of the classical travelling salesman problem where the set of vertices is partitioned into clusters, and the task is to find a minimum cost Hamiltonian tour such that the vertices in any cluster are visited contiguously. This paper proposes the use of a memetic algorithm (MA) that combines the global search ability of Geneti...

متن کاملMemetic Algorithm for the Generalized Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem
The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an extension of the well-known traveling salesman problem. In GTSP, we are given a partition of cities into groups and we are required to find a minimum length tour that includes exactly one city from each group. The aim of this paper is to present a new memetic algorithm for GTSP which clearly outperforms the state-of-the-art memetic algorit...
