Abstract
The travelling salesman problem (TSP) is an NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization. It has assumed significance in operations research and theoretical computer science. The problem was first formulated in 1930 and since then, has been one of the most extensively studied problems in optimization. In fact, it is used as a benchmark for many optimization methods. This paper represents a new method to addressing TSP using an improved version of cuckoo search (CS) with Stud (SCS) crossover operator. In SCS method, similar to genetic operators used in various metaheuristic algorithms, a Stud crossover operator that is originated from classical Stud genetic algorithm, is introduced into the CS with the aim of improving its effectiveness and reliability while dealing with TSP. Various test functions had been used to test this approach, and used subsequently to find the shortest path for Chinese TSP (CTSP). Experimental results presented clearly demonstrates SCS as a viable and attractive addition to the portfolio of swarm intelligence techniques.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Cognitive Informatics and Natural Intelligence (IJCINI) encourages submissions that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and is devoted to rapid publication of high quality papers. The themes of IJCINI are natural intelligence, autonomic computing, and neuroinformatics. IJCINI is expected to provide the first forum and platform in the world for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students to investigate cognitive mechanisms and processes of human information processing, and to stimulate the transdisciplinary effort on cognitive informatics and natural intelligent research and engineering applications.
