This text explains how to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) using genetic algorithms. Simply input parameters according to the format defined in TSP1.m. Genetic algorithms are heuristic optimization methods that employ chromosome encoding and evolutionary operations (selection, crossover, mutation) to approximate optimal solutions. For TSP implementation, key parameters include population size (defining solution diversity), crossover rate (controlling solution recombination), and mutation rate (maintaining genetic diversity). The algorithm typically represents routes as permutation chromosomes and uses fitness functions based on total distance minimization. Alternative optimization approaches like simulated annealing (temperature-controlled stochastic search) and ant colony optimization (pheromone-based path finding) can be implemented for performance comparison, allowing evaluation of convergence speed and solution quality across different methodologies.
