Abstract

Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem (GTSP) is one of the challenging combinatorial optimization problems in a lot of applications. In general, GTSP is more complex than Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). In this paper, a novel hybrid chromosome genetic algorithm (HCGA), in which the hybrid binary and integer codes are adopted, is proposed as an improvement of generalized chromosome genetic algorithm (GCGA). In order to examine the effectiveness of HCGA, 16 benchmark problems are simulated. The experimental results show that HCGA can perform better than GCGA does in solving GTSP.
