摘要: This paper investigates the effect of cost matrix standard deviation Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) instances on performance a class combinatorial optimisation heuristics. Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) is heuristic investigated. Results demonstrate that for given instance size, an increase in results difficulty instances. implies ACO, it insufficient to report problems classified only by problem as has been commonly done most ACO research date. Some description distribution also required when attempting explain and predict these algorithms TSP.
