Among these patterns, the real encoding has been shown to have more capability for complex problems (Andrzej [26]). The TSP is a NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem [3]; and roughly speaking it means, solving instances with a large number of nodes is very difficult, if not impossible. Actually, while Googling for such an example I found this Dima's web-page. However, in the present study we solve the ATSP instances without transforming into STSP instances. TOPICS: • Complexity theory • NP-completeness • Combinatorial algorithms • Approximation algorithms • Other topics depending on the interests in the class and time permitting. Complexity" We invite submissions of research articles for a special issue in the journal "Theoretical Computer Science" (TCS) on "Combinatorial Optimization: Theory of algorithms and complexity". Just a correction: The ACO program at CMU is also "algorithms, combinatorics, and optimization," not "complexity," not that it really matters. Due to the NP completeness of many combinatorial optimization problems, they are quite difficult to be solved analytically, and exact search algorithms such as branch and bound may degenerate to complete enumeration, and the CPU time needed to solve them may grow exponentially in the worst case. Incidentally, Is the ACO program stronger at CMU or GaTech? Combinatorial Optimization: Algorithms and Complexity (Dover Books. Meanwhile I found an example in section 6.3 (pages 126-128) of: Combinatorial Optimization: Algorithms and Complexity Christos H. OBJECTIVE: To understand what can and cannot be achieved by computation especially by efficient computation. Since ATSP instances are more complex, in many cases, ATSP instances are transformed into STSP instances and subsequently solved using STSP algorithms [4].
