35/44-Approximation for Asymmetric Maximum TSP with Triangle Inequality
We describe a new approximation algorithm for the asymmetric maximum traveling salesman problem (ATSP) with triangle inequality. Our algorithm achieves approximation factor 35/44 ...

A genetic algorithm for privacy preserving combinatorial optimization
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...

A gestalt genetic algorithm: less details for better search
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...

A discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm for the generalized traveling salesman problem
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...

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...

To Fill or Not to Fill: The Gas Station Problem
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...

An Improved Greedy Genetic Algorithm for Solving Travelling Salesman Problem
—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...
