2-OPT ALGORITHM AND EFFECTS OF INITIAL SOLUTION ON RESULTS

Journal Title: Endüstri Mühendisliği - Year 2016, Vol 27, Issue 3

Abstract

In this study the 2-opt heuristic algorithm which was proposed by Croes (1958) for the travelling salesman problem is presented and the effect of the initial solutions produced by constructive heuristics on the performance of the algorithm is analyzed. The algorithm is based on a local search that works with the logic of removing two edges from the current solution and merging the two parts in a different way. After trying all possible changes the result is considered a 2-optimal solution. The initial tour could be either a randomly created tour or a result of any other heuristics. In this work the best initial tour by the heuristics has also been studied. The algorithm has been tested on different benchmark problems and these results have been analyzed. Since this algorithm has not yet been studied in the Turkish literature this study will fill a gap on this topic.
