Analyzing the Effects of Instance Features and Algorithm Parameters for Max Min Ant System and the Traveling Salesperson Problem

Ant colony optimization (ACO) performs very well on many hard optimization problems, even though no good worst case guarantee can be given. Understanding the effects of different ACO parameters and the structural features of the considered problem on algorithm performance has become an interesting p...
