Abstract

A modified particle swarm optimization was proposed to solve traveling salesman problem (TSP). The algorithm searched in the Cartesian continuous space, and constructed a mapping from continuous space to discrete permutation space of TSP, thus to implement the space transformation. Moreover, local search technique was introduced to enhance the ability to search, and chaotic operations were employed to prevent the particles from falling into local optima prematurely. Finally four benchmark problems in TSPLIB were tested to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the algorithm can find high quality solutions in a comparatively short time.
