摘要:This paper presents an algorithm based on Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) for solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), which is called (GWO-TSP). Traveling Salesman Problem is a well-known NP-Hard problem in optimization which aims at finding the shortest path between cities, where each city must be visited exactly once. The GWO is a recently established meta-heuristic algorithm for solving optimization problems which has successfully solved many optimization problems. GWO-TSP has been compared with well-regarded algorithms such as: Chemical Reaction Optimization (CRO) and Genetic algorithm (GA). In addition, GWO-TSP has been evaluated analytically and by using simulations in terms of error rate and execution time. The algorithms are tested on a number of benchmark problems. Experimental results show that GWO is promising in terms of optimal cost, error rate and standard deviation in comparison with other algorithms.
