Abstract:

In order to solve the problems of slow convergence speed and easy to fall into local optimum of tradi-tional ant colony algorithm in solving traveling salesman problem (TSP), the dual ant colony algorithm based on backtracking migration and matching learning (BMACS) is proposed. Firstly, the population is dynamically graded into exploration ants and tracking ants. The ants with higher fitness are exploration ants and the ones with lower fitness are tracking ants. Secondly, a local feature transfer mechanism is proposed, in which there are two strategies: in the feature transfer strategy, the pheromone on the common path of exploration ants is rewarded, and this path is transferred into the pheromone matrix as a local feature, so as to improve the influence of exploration ants and acce-lerate the convergence speed of the algorithm; in the mutation learning strategy, the tracking ants are responsible for exploring the suboptimal path, and adaptively reconstruct the path of exploration ants to enrich the diversity of the population. Finally, when the algorithm stagnates, the matching learning mechanism is used to communicate and learn between the current optimal individual and the historical optimal individual with the highest similarity, and the pheromone is reorganized to increase the diversity of the population, thus improving the ability of the algorithm to jump out of the local optimal. Simulation experiments are carried out with MATLAB for multiple sets of cases in TSPLIB, and the results show that the improved algorithm balances diversity and convergence speed, and effecti-vely improves the quality of solution.

摘要:

针对传统蚁群算法在求解旅行商问题(TSP)时存在收敛速度慢、易陷入局部最优等问题,提出一种引入特征迁移学习和匹配学习的双蚁型蚁群算法(BMACS)。首先,将种群动态分级为探索蚁和追踪蚁,其中适应度较高的为探索蚁,较低的为追踪蚁;其次,提出一种局部特征迁移机制,该机制下有两种策略,在特征迁移策略中,将探索蚁公共路径作为局部特征通过局部信息素奖励迁移到信息素矩阵中,进而提高探索蚁的影响力,加快算法收敛速度;在变异学习策略中,追踪蚁跟随探索蚁负责对次优路径的探索,自适应重构探索蚁路径,从而丰富种群多样性;最后,当算法停滞时,利用匹配学习机制将当前最优个体与相似度最高的历史最优个体进行交流学习,重组信息素,增加种群的多样性,进而提高算法跳出局部最优的能力。使用MATLAB对TSPLIB中的多组案例进行仿真实验,结果表明改进后的算法平衡了多样性和收敛速度,有效提高了解的质量。
