  • Abstract
    In order to improve the global ability of basic ACA(ant colony algorithm), a novel ACA algorithm which is based on adaptively adjusting pheromone decay parameter has been proposed, and it has been proved that for a sufficiently large number of iterations, the probability of finding the global best solution tends to 1. The simulations for TSP problem show that the improved ACA can find better routes than basic ACA.
