In this paper, we prove some convergence properties for a class of ant colony optimization algorithms. In particular, we prove that for any small constant 0 and for a sufficiently ...
We introduce an approach which combines ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) and IBM ILOG CP Optimizer for solving COPs (Combinatorial Optimization Problems). The problem is modeled using...
—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...
