Improving the Hopfield–Tank Approach for the Traveling Salesman Problem
M. Argollo de Menezes, T. J. P. Penna · International Journal of Modern Physics C · 1997
In this work we revisit the Hopfield–Tank algorithm for the traveling salesman problem (J. J. Hopfield and D. W. Tank, Biol. Cybern. 52, 141 (1985)) and report encouraging results, with a different dynamics, that makes the algorithm more efficient, finding better solutions in much less computational time.
