- Abstract:
-
Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic search technique. P h eromones are an important media ants use to communicate with each other and impl ement swarm intelligence. Thus research on pheromone updating strategies is a ho tspot in ACO. A new decoupling control strategy model of pheromone diffusion is proposed based on the coupling characteristic of pheromone diffusion. First, the algorithm sets up a new pheromone diffusion model with the path that the ant tr avels as the pheromone source. Then, according to the coupling degree of the con centration field of pheromone diffusion, a decoupling control strategy is employ ed to revise the pheromone updating formula. Experimental results for many TSP p roblems demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can not only generate better sol utions but also accelerate the speed of convergence.
