We describe a new approximation algorithm for the asymmetric maximum traveling salesman problem (ATSP) with triangle inequality. Our algorithm achieves approximation factor 35/44 ...
We propose a protocol for a local search and a genetic algorithm for the distributed traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the distributed TSP, information regarding the cost funct...
The basic idea to defend in this paper is that an adequate perception of the search space, sacrificing most of the precision, can paradoxically accelerate the discovery of the mo...
Dividing the set of nodes into clusters in the well-known traveling salesman problem results in the generalized traveling salesman problem which seeking a tour with minimum cost p...

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...
In this paper we study several routing problems that generalize shortest paths and the Traveling Salesman Problem. We consider a more general model that incorporates the actual co...
Multi-agent systems (MAS) provide a promising technology for addressing problems such as search and rescue missions, mine sweeping, and surveillance. These problems are a form of ...
—Genetic algorithm (GA) is too dependent on the initial population and a lack of local search ability. In this paper, an improved greedy genetic algorithm (IGAA) is proposed to o...
