Summary:
An asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem is one in which the costs for travel between one city and another are not symmetric. We propose a method for solving such problems based on previous work by Hasegawa et al. It uses a chaotic neural network and tabu search; block shift operations and 2-opt exchange are used as exchange methods. The proposed method obtains better solutions with a shorter computational time than the method we previously proposed.
