Travelling Salesperson Problem

Ant Colony optimization is a heuristic technique which has been applied to a number of combinatorial optimization problem and is based on the foraging behavior of the ants. Travelling Salesperson problem is a combinatorial optimization problem which requires that each city should be visited once. In this research paper we use the K means clustering technique and Enhanced Ant Colony Optimization algorithm to solve the TSP problem. We show a comparison of the traditional approach with the proposed approach. The simulated results show that the proposed algorithm is better compared to the traditional approach.

Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms

The ant colony optimization algorithms and their applications on the multiple knapsack problem (MKP) are introduced. The MKP is a hard combinatorial optimization problem with wide application. Problems from different industrial fields can be interpreted as a knapsack problem including financial and other management. The MKP is represented by a graph, and solutions are represented by paths through the graph. Two pheromone models are compared: pheromone on nodes and pheromone on arcs of the graph. The MKP is a constraint problem which provides possibilities to use varied heuristic information. The purpose of the chapter is to compare a variety of heuristic and pheromone models and different variants of ACO algorithms on MKP.

Proper Orthogonal

Experimental characterization of high dimensional dynamic systems sometimes uses the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). If there are many measurement locations and relatively fewer sensors, then steady-state behavior can still be studied by sequentially taking several sets of simultaneous measurements. The number required of such sets of measurements can be minimized if we solve a combinatorial optimization problem. We aim to bring this problem to the attention of engineering audiences, summarize some known mathematical results about this problem, and present a heuristic (suboptimal) calculation that gives reasonable, if not stellar, results.
