چکیده

The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most widely studied problems in combinatorial optimization. It has long been known to be NP-hard and hence research on developing algorithms for the TSP has focused on approximate methods in addition to exact methods. Tabu search is one of the most widely applied metaheuristic for solving the TSP. In this paper, we review the tabu search literature on the TSP, point out trends in it, and bring out some interesting research gaps in this literature.

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. ...

A Tabu Search Algorithm for the Symmetric Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem

The Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem (GTSP) consists of finding a least cost Hamiltonian circuit or cycle through several clusters of vertices. In this paper we propose a new tabu search algorithm which uses the problem’s configuration to guide the search and reduce the solution space. A new way to manage the tabu restrictions, specially adapted to this problem, is also proposed. Results ...
