Fast EAX Algorithm Considering Population Diversity for Traveling Salesman Problems
This paper proposes an evolutionary algorithm (EA) that is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). Existing approximation methods to address the TSP known to be state-of-t...

Reducing the Size of Traveling Salesman Problem Instances by Fixing Edges
Abstract. The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well-known NPhard combinatorial optimization problem, for which a large variety of evolutionary algorithms are known. However, t...

Ant-Q: A Reinforcement Learning Approach to the Traveling Salesman Problem
In this paper we introduce Ant-Q, a family of algorithms which present many similarities with Q-learning (Watkins, 1989), and which we apply to the solution of symmetric and asymm...

Approximation Algorithms for Multi-Criteria Traveling Salesman Problems
In multi-criteria optimization, several objective functions are to be optimized. Since the different objective functions are usually in conflict with each other, one cannot conside...
