TSP(Traveling Salesman Problem) is a famous problem in Operations Research fields due to its applicability to various problems. It is also well-known that the problem is hard to solve in reasonable time, since it is in the NP-Complete class. Hence it is desired to develop heuristics which have polynominal complexity and also solve the problem to near-optimality. This paper presents a heuristic algorithm for TSP using the concept of dynamic programming. The proposed method has the complexity of O(N$\^$3/), and gives improved solutions than other well-known algorithms in our extensive computational experiments.

In solving the Travel Salesman Problem(TSP), we easily reach local optimal solutions with the existing methods such as TWO-OPT, THREE-OPT, and Lin-Kernighen. Tabu search, as a meta heuristic, is a good mechanism to get an optimal or a near optimal solution escaping from the local optimal. By utilizing AI concepts, tabu search continues to search for improved solutions. In this study, we focus on developing a new neighborhood structure that maintains the feasibility of the tours created by exchange operations in TSP. Intelligent methods are discussed, which keeps feasible tour routes even after exchanging several edges continuously. An extended tabu search model, performing cycle detection and diversification with memory structure, is applied to TSP. The model uses effectively the information gathered during the search process. Finally, the results of tabu search and simulated annealing are compared based on the TSP problems in the prior literatures.

This study proposes a neural network for solving optimization problems such as the TSP (Travelling Salesman Problem), scheduling, and line balancing. The Hopfield network has been used for solving such problems, but it frequently gives abnormal solutions or non-optimal ones. Moreover, the Hopfield network takes much time especially in solving large size problems. To overcome such disadvantages, this study adopts nodes whose outputs changes with a fixed value at every evolution. The proposed network is applied to solving a TSP, finding the shortest path for visiting all the cities, each of which is visted only once. Here, the travelling path is reflected to the energy function of the network. The proposed network evolves to globally minimize the energy function, and a ...

As factory automation is required, using the vision system is also essential. Especially, the pateh planning of parts with J-lead on PCB plays a import role of whole automation. Path planning is required because J-lead is scatteed compaed to L-lead on PCB. Therefore, in this paper, we propose path planning of part inspection with J-lead to use Hopfield Model(TSP : Traveling Salesman Problem). Then optical system suited to J-lead inspection is designed and the algorithm of J-lead solder joint and part inspection is proposed.

본 논문에서는 외판원 문제를 분산 시스템 환경에서, 다중 에이전트를 이용해 수법시간을 단축시키고, 더욱 우수한 근접해를 구할 수 있는 분산 유전 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 다중 후보해를 이용한 분산 유전 알고리즘을 수행할 때, 고려해야 할 중요한 요소는 후보해들 간의 개체들을 어떤 노드의 후보해 개체와 교환할 것인가와 어떤 개체들을 선택해서, 얼마만큼의 개체를 이동시킨 것인가가 중요하게 고려독어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 교환해야 할 개체의 크기를 동적으로 윈도우 크기를 변경하면서 교환하는 방법을 개발하였고, 교환할 개체들의 위치를 결정하는 새로운 유전 이동 정책 2가지 방법을 개발하고 실험하였다.

In this paper, we propose a hopfield model for solving the part-matching which is the number of parts and positions are changed. The goal of this paper is to minimize part-connection in pairs and net total path of part-connection. Therefore, this kind of problem is referred to as a combinatorial optimization problem. First of all, we review the theoretical basis for hopfield model to optimization and present two method of part-matching; Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and Weighted Matching Problem (WMP). Finally, we show demonstration through computer simulation and analyzes the stability and feasibility of the generated solutions for the proposed connection methods.

Task allocation is a key problem in multiagent systems. The importance of automated negotiation protocols for solving the task allocation problem is increasing as a consequence of increased multi-agent applications. In this paper, we introduce the multiagent Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP) as an example of task reallocation problem, and suggest Vickery auction as an inter-agent coordination mechanism for solving this problem. In order to apply this market-based coordination mechanism into multiagent TSPs, we define the profit of each agent, the ultimate goal of negotiation, cities to be traded out through auctions, the bidding strategy, and the order of auctions. The primary advantage of such approach is that it can find an optimal task allocation ...

In this paper an approximate solution method for the large-scale Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP) is presented. The method start with the subdivision of the problem domain into a number of clusters by considering their geometries. The clusters have limited number of nodes so as to get local solutions. They are linked to give the least path which covers the whole domain and become TSPs with start- and end-node. The approximate local solutions in each cluster are obtained by using geometrical property of the cluster, and combined to give an overall-approximate solution for the large-scale TSP.

본 논문에서는 에너지 함수의 직접적인 평가에 기초해 홉필드 신경망을 진화시킴에 따라 적응적으로 에너지 계수를 결정하는 기법을 제시하고자 한다. 이 기법에 근거하여 구해지는 계수들의 효과를 검증하기 위해 응용 모델인 TSP(Traveling Salesman Problem)에 적용하여, 실험을 통한 계수 값의 변화 추이를 분석하고 그 결과를 기존의 기법들과 비교한다. 또한 제안된 방법에 필수적인 각 단계에서의 에너지 값의 평가를 위한 부가적인 연산을 줄이기 위해 단계적으로 증감분만을 계산하는 효율적인 연산법을 제시한다.
