چکیده

The Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem is one of a well known complex combinatorial optimization problems. Equality-Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem is a particular case of it. Themain objective of the problem it is to find a minimum cost tour passing through exactly one node from each cluster of a large-scale undirected graph. Multi-agent approaches are successfully used nowadays for solving real life complex problems. The aim of the current paper is to illustrate some agent-based algorithms, including particular ant-based models and virtual robots-agents with specific properties for solving Equality-Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem.

A Unifying Survey of Reinforced, Sensitive and Stigmergic Agent-Based Approaches for E-GTSP

The Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem (GTSP) is one of the NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. A variant of GTSP is E-GTSP where E, meaning equality, has the constraint: exactly one node from a cluster of a graph partition is visited. The main objective of the E-GTSP is to find a minimum cost tour passing through exactly one node from each cluster of an undirected graph. Agent-bas...

New 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...

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...
