Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A 2-opt algorithm has been implemented in a neural network combining chaotic dynamics to solve a traveling salesman problem (TSP)[2]-[4].The chaotic-neuro-dynamics can be naturally realized with an analog circuit whose state variables are continuous.Moreover, an inherent parallel processing ability of the analog circuity may lead a fast solution of a large-scale TSP.However, a method to divide the large-scale problem into small sub-problems is necessary to exploit the parallelism.In this respect, we have proposed a paralled division algorithm applicable to the 2-opt mehtod.In this paper, the parallel-division technique is modified and applied to the method using the chaotic-neuro-dynamics t solve the TSP.The effects of the division of the original TSP into small sub-TSPs are investigated with numerical simulations.From these results, the network parameters are tuned in order to improve the algorithm.Moreover, the algorithm itself is further modified to obtain a better solution.Finally, it is shown that better solutions can be obtained by the proposed algorithm than by the orginal parallel-division 2-opt method.
