چکیده

Several variants and generalizations of the Or-opt heuristic for the Symmetric Traveling Salesman Problem are developed and compared on random and planar instances. Some of the proposed algorithms are shown to significantly improve upon the standard 2-opt and Or-opt heuristics.

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 ...

Empirical Analysis of Improvement Algorithms for the Pickup and Delivery Traveling Salesman Problem

This paper presents an empirical analysis of some implementations of tour improvement heuristics designed for the pickup and delivery traveling salesman problem. Results show that while the classical 2-opt traveling salesman algorithm can be implemented very efficiently, available implementations of the 3-opt are much less efficient. Among tested algorithms, the only one to produce significant ...

A hybrid metaheuristic using fuzzy greedy search operator for combinatorial optimization with specific reference to the travelling salesman problem

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. Computational experiments using a wide range of...

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...

A 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...
