This study improves the neural network algorithm that was presented by J.J.Hopfield for solving TSP(travelling salesman problem) and gets an effective algorithm whose time complexity is O(n*n), so we can solve quickly TSP more than 500 cities in microcomputer. The paper considers the algorithm based on the replacement function of the V Value. The improved algorithm can greatly reduces the time and space complexities of Hopfield method. The TSP examples show that the proposed algorithm could efficiently find a satisfactory solution and has a fast convergence speed.

The Greedy Algorithm

Production optimization must be considered in order to get the optimal amount of production, which is related to company profit. In addition, the distribution route that is not optimal will also cause production costs to expand. These two things are the main problems faced by Semprong Amoundy MSMEs that have not paid attention to optimization of production and optimization of distribution routes. The purpose of this research is to find the optimal solution of the number and type of semprong production to maximize the income of Amoundy MSMEs, and to find a solution for the shortest distribution route to minimize distribution costs of semprong products. The method used to solve this problem is Simplex Method and Travelling Salesman Problem with the Greedy Algorithm approach. The research resulted the decision that Amoundy MSMEs had to produce 18 boxes of large packaged semprong every day to generate maximum income. The distribution route that must be taken to minimize distribution costs is Amoundy House Production – Bontot Delajaya Shop – Erik Shop – Denpasar Shop – Aneka Shop – Oleh-oleh Karawang Outlet – Amoundy House Production, estimated distribution cost of Rp. 20.120,-.Optimasi produksi perlu diperhatikan agar didapatkan jumlah produksi yang optimal, yang mana hal ini akan berhubungan dengan profit perusahaan. Selain itu rute distribusi yang belum optimal juga akan menyebabkan pembengkakan biaya produksi. Kedua hal ini merupakan masalah utama yang dihadapi oleh UMKM Semprong Amoundy yang belum memperhatikan optimasi produksi dan optimasi rute distribusi. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini yaitu untuk mencari solusi optimal dari jumlah dan jenis produksi semprong untuk memaksimalkan pendapatan UMKM Amoundy, serta mencari solusi rute distribusi terpendek untuk meminimalkan biaya pendistribusian produk semprong. Metode yang digunakan untuk adalah Metode simpleks dan  Travelling Salesman Problem dengan pendekatan algoritma greedy. Penelitian menghasilkan keputusan bahwa UMKM Amoundy harus memproduksi 18 box kue semprong kemasan besar setiap hari untuk menghasilkan pendapatan maksimal. Rute distribusi yang harus ditempuh untuk meminimalkan biaya distribusi yaitu Rumah Produksi Amoundy – Toko Bontot Delajaya – Toko Erik – Toko Denpasar – Toko Aneka – Outlet Oleh-oleh Karawang – Rumah Produksi Amoundy dengan taksiran biaya distribusi sebesar Rp. 20.120,-.

Abstract—Recently computer networks are increasingly complex. It needs to be a supporting device for network management such as a router. Router is a device that plays an important role in the routing process. In a router stored information in the form of routing paths, where the information includes data and which routers will be passed. In certain cases, a router can have more than one gateway. This is because the router needs to send data packets to several networks that have different segments. Such cases can be handled by using the appropriate routing path selection rules. The routing problem can be regarded as a traveling salesman problem (TSP), where a mechanism is needed to determine the shortest route to be traversed. The author implements the Simulated Annealing Algorithm because it can produce an optimal solution with light computing, so that the routing process can be more effective and efficient. Index Terms—Computer Network, Routing, Simulated Annealing, Travelling Salesman Problem Abstrak–-Jaringan komputer saat ini semakin kompleks. Perlu adanya suatu perangkat pendukung untuk manajemen jaringan seperti router. Router merupakan perangkat yang berperan penting dalam proses routing. Pada sebuah router tersimpan informasi berupa jalur routing, dimana informasi tersebut mencakup data dan router mana saja yang akan dilewati. Pada kasus tertentu, router dapat memiliki lebih dari satu gateway. Hal ini disebabkan karena router perlu mengirimkan paket data ke beberapa jaringan yang memiliki segmen berbeda. Kasus tersebut dapat ditangani dengan menggunakan aturan pemilihan jalur routing yang tepat. Permasalahan routing dapat dikatakan sebagai suatu permasalahan travelling salesman problem (TSP), dimana diperlukan suatu mekanisme dalam menentukan rute terpendek untuk dilalui.

Abstract The dynamic travelling salesman problem (DTSP) is a natural extension of the standard travelling salesman problem, and it has attracted significant interest in recent years due to is practical applications. In this article, we propose an efficient solution for DTSP, based on a genetic algorithm (GA), and on the one-by-one revision of two sides (GORTS). More specifically, GORTS combines the global search ability of GA with the fast convergence feature of the method of one-by-one revision of two sides, in order to find the optimal solution in a short time. An experimental platform was designed to evaluate the performance of GORTS with TSPLIB. The experimental results show that the efficiency of GORTS compares favourably against other popular heuristic algorithms for DTSP. In particular, a prototype logistics system based on GORTS for a supermarket with an online map was designed and implemented. It was shown that this can provide optimised goods distribution routes for delivery staff, while considering real-time traffic information.

Abstract The travelling salesman problem is one of the most popular problems in combinatorial optimization. It has been frequently used as a benchmark of the performance of evolutionary algorithms. For this reason, nowadays practitioners request new and more difficult instances of this problem. This leads to investigate how to evaluate the intrinsic difficulty of the instances and how to separate ease and difficult instances. By developing methodologies for separating easy- from difficult-to-solve instances, researchers can fairly test the performance of their combinatorial optimizers. In this work, a methodology for evaluating the difficulty of instances of the travelling salesman problem near the optimal solution is proposed. The question is if the fitness landscape near the optimal solution encodes enough information to separate instances in function of their intrinsic difficulty. This methodology is based on the use of a random walk to explore the closeness of the optimal solution. The optimal solution is modified by altering one connection between two cities at each step, at the same time that the fitness of the altered solution is evaluated. This permits evaluating the slope of the fitness landscape. Later, and using the previous information, the difficulty of the instance is evaluated with random forests and artificial neural networks. In this work, this methodology is confronted with a wide set of instances. As a consequence, a methodology to separate the instances of the travelling salesman problem by their degree of difficulty is proposed and evaluated.

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are powerful heuristic search techniques that are used successfully to solve problems for many different applications. Seeding the initial population is considered as the first step of the GAs. In this work, a new method is proposed, for the initial population seeding called the Multi Linear Regression Based Technique (MLRBT). That method divides a given large scale TSP problem into smaller sub-problems and the technique works frequently until the sub-problem size is very small, four cities or less. Experiments were carried out using the well-known Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) instances and they showed promising results in improving the GAs' performance to solve the TSP.

Neutrosophic Number

In this paper, the Travelling Salesman Problem is considered in neutrosophic environment which is more realistic in real-world industries. In fact, the distances between cities in the Travelling Salesman Problem are presented as neutrosophic triangular fuzzy number. This problem is solved in two steps: At first, the Yager’s ranking function is applied to convert the neutrosophic triangular fuzzy number to neutrosophic number then to generate the crisp number. At second, the heuristic Dhouib-Matrix-TSP1 is used to solve this problem. A numerical test example on neutrosophic triangular fuzzy environment shows that, by the use of Dhouib-Matrix-TSP1 heuristic, the optimal or a near optimal solution as well as the crisp and fuzzy total cost can be reached.
