A Method Using a Combination of ACOA Method Using a Combination of ACO 287
proposed method, which only needs n tests. Because the proposed method
selects one ant per iteration that r
epresents also a variant of ACO; the end
result provides the most used variant hence the one with best performance
in a particular instance of TSP.
13.3 Experiments
We made tests with different instances of TSP to test the algorithm using
different parameters for two types of experiments.
