Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive optimization system is established. In order to improve the global ability of basic ant colony algorithm, a novel ant colony algorithm which is based on adaptively adjusting pheromone decay parameter has been proposed, and it has been proved that for a sufficiently large number of iterations, the probability of finding the global best solution tends to 1. The simulations for TSP problem show that the improved ant colony algorithm can find better routes than basic ant colony algorithm.
