Abstract
The traveling salesman problem is known to be NP-hard and has numerous areas of applications. This paper proposes a collaborative neurodynamic optimization algorithm based on Boltzmann machines for solving the traveling salesman problem. A population of Boltzmann machines is employed for local search, and their initial states are repeatedly reinitialized by using the particle swarm optimization update rule for global repositioning. The efficacy of the proposed collaborative neurodynamic optimization algorithm is substantiated on four traveling salesman problem benchmark instances.
