- In this paper we present ACS, a distributed algorithm for the solution of combinatorial optimization problems which was inspired by the observation of real colonies of ants. We a...
We consider the special case of the traveling salesman problem TSP in which the distance metric is the shortest-path metric of a planar unweighted graph. We present a polynomial...

This report describes an implementation of the Lin-Kernighan heuristic, one of the most successful methods for generating optimal or nearoptimal solutions for the symmetric travel...
In this paper, a variant of the Traveling Salesman Problem with Time Windows is considered, which consists in minimizing the sum of travel durations between a depot and several cu...
