| Abstract(in English) | The traveling salesman problem is a well-known NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. To solve the problem many researchers have developed algorithms. In this paper, first, we compare the features of 4 main algorithms. Second, we propose a new neural network algorithm whose energy function takes 0 when the neuron outputs represent a tour. At last, we compare their performance with 5 bench mark problems .The results show that It is found that a proposal algorithm is superior to trivial neural network but inferior to these algorisms. |
