Abstract

With the properties of T-coloring problems in mind, multiagent systems and evolutionary algorithms are integrated to form a new algorithm, Multiagent Evolutionary Algorithm for T-coloring (MAEA-T-coloring). We studied the generalization of classical graph coloring model, and focused our interest in the restricted T-coloring. An agent in MAEA-T-coloring represents a candidate solution to T-colorings. All agents live in a latticelike environment, with each agent fixed on a lattice-point. In order to increase energies, they compete or cooperate with their neighbors using their knowledge. Experiments on large random instances of T-colorings show encouraging results about MAEA- T-coloring.
