An Improved PSO-ACO Algorithm for Solving Large-Scale TSP

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, an improved particle swarm optimization-ant colony algorithm (PSO-ACO) is presented by inserting delete-crossover strategy into it for the shortcoming which PSO-ACO can’t solve the large-scale TSP. The experiments results show that the PSO-ACO has better performance than ant colony algorithm (ACO) on searching the shortest paths, error and robustness for the TSP.
