Abstract: The Greedy Permuting Method (GPM) is a method introduced for initial population generation in the Genetic Algorithm (GA). For a test problem with 280 cities, the generated initial population ...
Vehicle Routing Problem or simply VRP is a well known combinatorial optimization problem and a generalization of the travelling salesman problem. A definition of the problem is this: We have a number ...
Abstract: The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the typical combinatorial optimization problems that is easy to describe but hard to solve. In this work, we present a novel solution that ...
