KL Divergence-Based Pheromone Fusion for Heterogeneous Multi-Colony Ant Optimization

In this paper we present a heterogeneous multi-colony ant optimization with a novel interaction strategy named pheromone fusion to balance the search ability and the convergence speed of the conventional ant colony optimization. The pheromone fusion performs interaction directly and effectively by t...
