A taxonomy and an empirical analysis of multiple objective ant colony optimization algorithms for the bi-criteria TSP

The difficulty to solve multiple objective combinatorial optimization problems with traditional techniques has urged researchers to look for alternative, better performing approaches for them. Recently, several algorithms have been proposed which are based on the ant colony optimization metaheuristic. In this contribution, the existing algorithms of this kind are reviewed and a proposal of a taxonomy for them is presented. In addition, an empirical analysis is developed by analyzing their performance on several instances of the bi-criteria traveling salesman problem in comparison with two well-known multi-objective genetic algorithms.     

An ensemble of discrete differential evolution algorithms for solving the generalized traveling salesman problem

In this paper, an ensemble of discrete differential evolution algorithms with parallel populations is presented. In a single populated discrete differential evolution (DDE) algorithm, the destruction and construction (DC) procedure is employed to generate the mutant population whereas the trial population is obtained through a crossover operator. The performance of the DDE algorithm is substantially affected by the parameters of DC procedure as well as the choice of crossover operator. In order to enable the DDE algorithm to make use of different parameter values and crossover operators simultaneously, we propose an ensemble of DDE (eDDE) algorithms where each parameter set and crossover operator is assigned to one of the parallel populations. Each parallel parent population does not only compete with offspring population generated by its own population but also the offspring populations generated by all other parallel populations which use different parameter settings and crossover operators. As an application area, the well-known generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is chosen, where the set of nodes is divided into clusters so that the objective is to find a tour with minimum cost passing through exactly one node from each cluster. The experimental results show that none of the single populated variants was effective in solving all the GTSP instances whereas the eDDE performed substantially better than the single populated variants on a set of problem instances. Furthermore, through the experimental analysis of results, the performance of the eDDE algorithm is also compared against the best performing algorithms from the literature. Ultimately, all of the best known averaged solutions for larger instances are further improved by the eDDE algorithm.     

A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with Boltzmann Convergence Properties

Stochastic global search algorithms such as genetic algorithms are used to attack difficult combinatorial optimization problems. However, genetic algorithms suffer from the lack of a convergence proof. This means that it is difficult to establish reliable algorithm braking criteria without extensive a priori knowledge of the solution space. The hybrid genetic algorithm presented here combines a genetic algorithm with simulated annealing in order to overcome the algorithm convergence problem. The genetic algorithm runs inside the simulated annealing algorithm and provides convergence via a Boltzmann cooling process. The hybrid algorithm was used successfully to solve a classical 30-city traveling salesman problem; it consistently outperformed both a conventional genetic algorithm and a conventional simulated annealing algorithm. This work was supported by the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.     

A particle swarm optimization-based hybrid algorithm for minimum concave cost network flow problems

Traditionally, minimum cost transshipment problems have been simplified as linear cost problems, which are not practical in real applications. Some advanced local search algorithms have been developed to solve concave cost bipartite network problems. These have been found to be more effective than the traditional linear approximation methods and local search methods. Recently, a genetic algorithm and an ant colony system algorithm were employed to develop two global search algorithms for solving concave cost transshipment problems. These two global search algorithms were found to be more effective than the advanced local search algorithms for solving concave cost transshipment problems. Although the particle swarm optimization algorithm has been used to obtain good results in many applications, to the best of our knowledge, it has not yet been applied in minimum concave cost network flow problems. Thus, in this study, we employ an arc-based particle swarm optimization algorithm, coupled with some genetic algorithm and threshold accepting method techniques, as well as concave cost network heuristics, to develop a hybrid global search algorithm for efficiently solving minimum cost network flow problems with concave arc costs. The proposed algorithm is evaluated by solving several randomly generated network flow problems. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm is more effective than several other recently designed methods, such as local search algorithms, genetic algorithms and ant colony system algorithms, for solving minimum cost network flow problems with concave arc costs.

The most stir is the numerical results showing that it can find the global minimizer for some problems ,which other pattern search algorithms don＇t bear.     

An efficient genetic algorithm for the traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints

The traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints (TSPPC) is one of the most difficult combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, an efficient genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the TSPPC is presented. The key concept of the proposed GA is a topological sort (TS), which is defined as an ordering of vertices in a directed graph. Also, a new crossover operation is developed for the proposed GA. The results of numerical experiments show that the proposed GA produces an optimal solution and shows superior performance compared to the traditional algorithms.
