Abstract

The invention discloses a method for solving the traveling salesman problem based on an improved genetic algorithm. The steps include: aiming at the TSP problem, encoding the path using a decimal number string; calculating the total length, and then judging the total length; after encoding On the search space U of the decimal number string path, define the fitness function f(x), and define the population size n, the crossover probability Pc, the mutation probability Pm and the number of iterations T; in the search space U, randomly generate n individuals s1, s2, s3, ..., sn, constitute the initial population S0 = {s1, s2, s3, ..., sn}, set the current iteration number t = 0; according to the fitness function f(x), evaluate the individual fitness in the population , if t<T, then end the step, otherwise perform the genetic operation step; the individual with the highest fitness obtained through the genetic operation step is the optimal solution of the traveling salesman problem solving method. Based on the traditional genetic algorithm, the present invention optimizes the traveling salesman problem to achieve the purpose of improving the shortcoming that the algorithm is prone to premature convergence and optimizing the search efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application of genetic algorithms in the technical field of computers, in particular to a method for solving traveling salesman problems based on improved genetic algorithms. Background technique [0002] In the field of computer applications, Genetic Algorithm (GA) was first proposed in 1975 by Professor J. Holland of the University of Michigan in the United States. It is a computational model that simulates the process of biological evolution by drawing on Darwin's theory of evolution and the theory of natural selection. According to the genetic mechanism, the solution of the problem is processed similar to the natural evolution process (survival of the fittest), so that the solution of the problem evolves in the direction of adapting to the environment (problem), and then obtains the optimal solution. Simple, universal, robust and suitable for parallel processing are the characteristics of genetic algorithm. Genetic Al...
