Partheno-Genetic Algorithm based on Combined Mutation and Grouped Optimization for Solving Traveling Salesman Problem
Aiming at the problems of slow convergence speed and falling easily into local optimum in solving Traveling Sales-man Problem,Partheno-Genetic Algorithm based on Combined Mutation and Grouped Optimization is proposed.Combined muta-tion is designed to be composed of two-sided reverse order,nearest neighbor exchange and jumping gene,which is used to expand the search range and enhance the diversity of population.After elite selection,the populations are divided into two groups accord-ing to their fitness for local optimization,and insertion and 2opt are used successively for the high-quality and different group to accelerate the evolutionary convergence speed.The reverse order operator is used for the ordinary group to enhance its ability to jump out of the local optimum.Experiments show that the proposed algorithm has significantly improved in convergence speed and solving ability for small and medium-sized traveling salesman problem.
