TSP ant colony optimization

The project aims to solve TSP by ant colony optimization method

config.ini file

The program reads data from the config.ini configuration file in the following syntax

<results file name>
<graph file name> <number of repeats> <alpha parameter> <beta parameter> <rho parameter> <number of iterations> <number of ants> <init tau parameter> <quantity of pheromone> <evaporation method> <correct TSP path weight> <correct TSP path> 
  • results file name - name of CSV file
  • graph file name - name of file with adjacency matrix of graph
  • number of repeats - number of repeats of algorithm
  • alpha parameter -
  • beta parameter -
  • rho parameter -
  • number of iterations -
  • number of ants -
  • init tau parameter
  • quantity of pheromone -
  • evaporation method -
  • correct TSP path weight - integer number
  • correct TSP path - sequence of integers number separated by space

Graphs

In the graphs folder there are files with example graphs that can be used to test the program.
