조합 최적화 문제인 Traveling Salesman problems(TSP)을 Genetic Algorithm(GA)과 Local Search Heuristic인 Lin-Kernighan(LK) Heuristic[2]을 이용하여 접근하는 것은 최적해를 구하기 위해 널리 알려진 방법이다. 이 논문에서는 LK를 이용하여 주어진 TSP 문제에서 Local Optima를 찾고, GA를 이용하여 Local Optimal를 바탕으로 Global Optima를 찾는데 이용하게 된다. 여기서 이런 GA와 LK를 이용하여 TSP 문제를 풀 경우 해가 점점 수렴해가면서 중복된 유전자가 많이 생성된다. 이런 중복된 유전자를 제거함으로써 탐색의 범위를 보다 넓고 다양하게 검색하고, 더욱 효율적으로 최적화를 찾아내는 방법에 대해서 논하겠다. 이런 방법을 이용하여 rat195, gil262, lin318의 TSP문제에서 효율적으로 수행된다.

A vehicle routing problem with time constraint is one of the must important problem in distribution and logistics. In practice, the service for a customer must start and finish within a given delivery time. This study is concerned about the development of a model to optimize vehicle routing problem under the multi-logistics center problem. And we used a two-step approach with an improved genetic algorithm. In step one, a sector clustering model is developed by transfer the multi-logistics center problem to a single logistics center problem which is more easy to be solved. In step two, we developed a GA-TSP model with an improved genetic algorithm which can search a optimize vehicle routing with given time constraints. As a result, we developed a Network VRP computer programs according to the proposed solution VRP used ActiveX and distributed object technology.

In this paper, we introduce a new genetic reordering operator based on the concept of schema to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP). Because TSP is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem and belongs to a NP-complete problem, there is a huge solution space to be searched. For robustness to local minima, the operator separates selected strings into two parts to reduce the destructive probability of good building blocks. And it applies inversion to the schema part to prevent the premature convergence. At the same time, it searches new spaces of solutions. In addition, we have the non-schema part to be applied to inversion as well as for robustness to local minima. By doing so, we can preserve diversity of the distributions in population and make GA be adaptive to the dynamic environment.

Genetic Algorithm(GA) is applied to a problem that could not figure out its solution in a straightway. It is called as NP-hard problem. GA requires a high-performance system to be run on since the high-cost operations are needed such as crossover, selection, and mutation. Moreover, the scale of the problem domain is normally huge. That is why the straightway cannot be applied. To reduce the drawback of high-cost requirements, we try to answer if all the operations including mutation are necessary for all cases. In the experiment, we set up two cases of with/without mutation operations and gather the number of generations and the fitness of a solution. The subject in the experiment is Travelling Salesman Problem(TSP), which is one of the popular problems solved by GA. As a result, the cases with mutation operation are not faster and the solution is fitter than the case with mutation operation. From the result, the conclusion is that mutation operation does not always need for a better solution in a faster way.

Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP) is a combinational optimization problem, Genetic Algorithm(GA) and Lin-Kernighan(LK) Heuristic［1］that is Local Search Heuristic are one of the most commonly used methods to resolve TSP. In this paper, we introduce ACS(Ant Colony System) Algorithm as another approach to solve TSP and propose a new pheromone updating method. ACS uses pheromone information between cities in the Process where many ants make a tour, and is a method to find a optimal solution through recursive tour creation process. At the stage of Global Updating of ACS method, it updates pheromone of edges belonging to global best tour of created all edge. But we perform once more pheromone update about created all edges before global updating rule of original ACS is applied. At this process, we use the frequency of occurrence of each edges to update pheromone. We could offer stochastic value by pheromone about each edges, giving all edges' occurrence frequency as weight about Pheromone. This finds an optimal solution faster than existing ACS algorithm and prevent a local optima using more edges in next time search.

The traveling salesman problem with precedence relations (TSPPR) is harder than general traveling salesman problem. In this paper we propose an efficient genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the TSPPR. The key concept of the proposed genetic algorithm is a topological sort (TS). The results of numerical experiments show that the proposed GA approach produces an optimal solution for the TSPPR.

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which has been well known to solve continuous problems can be applied to discrete combinatorial problems. Several DPSO (Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithms have been proposed to solve discrete problems such as traveling salesman, vehicle routing, and flow shop scheduling problems. They are different in representation of position and velocity vectors, operation mechanisms for updating vectors. In this paper, the performance of 5 DPSOs is analyzed by applying to traditional Traveling Salesman Problems. The experiment shows that DPSOs are comparable or superior to a genetic algorithm (GA). Also, hybrid PSO combined with local optimization (i.e., 2-OPT) provides much improved solutions. Since DPSO requires more computation time compared with GA, however, the performance of hybrid DPSO is not better than hybrid GA.

In this paper, a minimum time path planning strategy is proposed for multi points manufacturing problems in drilling/spot welding tasks. By optimizing the travelling schedule of the set points and the detailed transfer path between points, the minimum time manufacturing task is realized under fully utilizing the dynamic performance of robotic manipulator. According to the start-stop movement in drilling/spot welding task, the path planning problem can be converted into a traveling salesman problem (TSP) and a series of point to point minimum time transfer path planning problems. Cubic Hermite interpolation polynomial is used to parameterize the transfer path and then the path parameters are optimized to obtain minimum point to point transfer time. A new TSP with minimum time index is constructed by using point-point transfer time as the TSP parameter. The classical genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to obtain the optimal travelling schedule. Several minimum time drilling tasks of a 3-DOF robotic manipulator are used as examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
