摘要: Ant colony optimization is a well known metaheuristic which has been object of many studies, both theoretic and applicative. In recent analysis [1], particular aspect its behavior investigated. More in detail, the topic interest result achieved by ant algorithms when cost unit instances are expressed changes. Three proved to be invariant this type transformation instances, provided that some conditions satisfied. paper examples combinatorial problems can applied an fashion described. Many typically tackled literature may included list.
