A Graph-based Ant System and its convergence
: A general framework for solving combinatorial optimization problems heuristically by the Ant System approach is developed. The framework is based on the concept of a construction...

First steps to the runtime complexity analysis of ant colony optimization
: The paper presents results on the runtime complexity of two ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms: Ant System, the oldest ACO variant, and GBAS, the first ACO variant for whic...

On the Invariance of Ant System
It is often believed that the performance of ant system, and in general of ant colony optimization algorithms, depends somehow on the scale of the problem instance at hand. The iss...

Revisiting Elitism in Ant Colony Optimization
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has been applied successfully in solving the Traveling Salesman Problem. Marco Dorigo et al. used Ant System (AS) to explore the Symmetric Traveling S...

Stability analysis of the ant system dynamics with non-uniform pheromone deposition rules
—The paper extends the classical Ant Systems by considering non-uniform deposition by the ants, while constructing pheromone trails. A deterministic solution to the ant system dy...
