This article presents a new approach for solving TSP called an evolutionary algorithm. An evolutionary algorithm loosely mimics biological crossover (combining two existing parent solutions to create ...

Given a graph whose arc traversal times vary over time, the time-dependent travelling salesman problem (TDTSP) consists in finding a Hamiltonian tour of least total duration covering the vertices of ...

Comparing the search time with a representative TSP algorithm "2-opt," the electronic amoeba becomes more advantageous as the number of cities increases.
