A short convergence proof for a class of ant colony optimization algorithms
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 ...

Strong Combination of Ant Colony Optimization with Constraint Programming Optimization
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...

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...
