Summary:
"Physarum solver" is the shortest path finding algorithm for a transport network mimicking an adaptation process in true slime mold developed by Tero et al. (2006) Physica A, 363. We introduce a periodic forcing term to the solver, and investigate a response to the stimulation. With the forcing term, there exists such a property that the required time to reach steady state becomes short. Also there exists trade-off between the convergence time and accuracy for the shortest path finding process with respect to the amplitude of the forcing term.
