Study of Pseudo-Parallel Genetic Algorithm with Ant Colony Optimization to Solve the TSP
نویسندگان
چکیده
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) has attracted many researchers’ attention in the past few decades, and amounts of algorithms based on heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, tabu search and memetic algorithms have been presented to solve it, respectively. Unfortunately, their results have not been satisfied at all yet. This paper is devoted to the presentation of a novel hybrid pseudo-parallel genetic algorithm with ant colony optimization (PPGA-ACO). The experimental results on small and large size TSP instances in TSPLIB (traveling salesman problem library) show that PPGAACO is more robust and efficient than the traditional algorithms.

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 کاملA Hybrid Modified Meta-heuristic Algorithm for Solving the Traveling Salesman Problem
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is one of the most important combinational optimization problems that have nowadays received much attention because of its practical applications in industrial and service problems. In this paper, a hybrid two-phase meta-heuristic algorithm called MACSGA used for solving the TSP is presented. At the first stage, the TSP is solved by the modified ant colony s...
متن کاملNew Ant Colony Algorithm Method based on Mutation for FPGA Placement Problem
Many real world problems can be modelled as an optimization problem. Evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems. Ant colony algorithm is a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been inspired of some specific ants looking for food in the nature. These ants leave trail pheromone on the ground to mark good ways that can be followed by other members of the group. Ant colony optim...
متن کاملImplementation of a Parallel Algorithm Based on a Spark Cloud Computing Platform
Parallel algorithms, such as the ant colony algorithm, take a long time when solving large-scale problems. In this paper, the MAX-MIN Ant System algorithm (MMAS) is parallelized to solve Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) based on a Spark cloud computing platform. We combine MMAS with Spark MapReduce to execute the path building and the pheromone operation in a distributed computer cluster. To im...
