Abstract

A novel Ant Colony Optimization algorithm based on Quantum mechanism for Multi-objective traveling salesman problem (MQACO) is proposed. To improve algorithm performance we use self-adaptive operator, namely in prophase we use higher probability to explore more search space and to collect useful global information; otherwise in anaphase we use higher probability to accelerate convergence. We analyze the technology to improve algorithm performance. Self-adaptive algorithm has advantages in terms of the adaptability; reliability and the learning ability over traditional organizing algorithm. TSP benchmark instances Chn144 results demonstrate the superiority of MQACO by different parameter in this paper.
