A New Approach to Solving Dynamic Traveling Salesman Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the classic NP hard optimization problems. The Dynamic TSP (DTSP) is arguably even more difficult than general static TSP. Moreover the DTSP is widely applicable to real-world applications, arguably even more than its static equivalent. However its investigation is only in the preliminary stages. There are many open questions to be investigated. This paper proposes an effective algorithm to solve DTSP. Experiments showed that this algorithm is effective, as it can find very high quality solutions using only a very short time step.

An Approach for Solving Traveling Salesman Problem
In this paper, we introduce a new approach for solving the traveling salesman problems (TSP) and provide a solution algorithm for a variant of this problem. The concept of the proposed method is based on the Hungarian algorithm, which has been used to solve an assignment problem for reaching an optimal solution. We introduced a new fittest criterion for crossing over such problems, and illu...

متن کاملNew 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...
متن کاملSolving the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem by a Novel Meta-heuristic Algorithm
The multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (TSP), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. Although the MTSP is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. This paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...
