The analysis of discrete artificial bee colony algorithm with neighborhood operator on traveling salesman problem

The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, inspired intelligent behaviors of real honey bee colonies, was introduced by Karaboga for numerical function optimization. The basic ABC has high performance and accuracy, if the solution space of the problem is continuous. But when the solution space of the problem is discrete, the basic ABC algorithm should be modified to solve this class optimization problem. In this study, we focused on analysis of...
