摘要: In this paper we deal with an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, the k-cardinality tree problem in edge-weighted graphs. This has several applications practice, which justify need for efficient methods to obtain good solutions. Metaheuristic have already been shown be successful tackling past. propose ACO algorithm based on Hyper-Cube Framework Ant Colony Optimization. We investigate usefulness of a higher order pheromone representation contrast standard first and compare our algorithms multi-start local search heuristic developed tackle problem.
