TY - JOUR TI - Ant colony optimization algorithm for the set covering problem AU - Schiff, Krzysztof TI - Ant colony optimization algorithm for the set covering problem AB - This article describes a new hybrid ant colony optimization algorithms for the set covering problem. The problem is modeled by means of a bipartite graph. New heuristic patterns, which are used in order to choose a vertex to a created covering set have been incorporated into modified hybrid algorithms. Results of tests on investigated algorithms are discussed VL - 2013 IS - Automatic Control Issue 1-AC (2) 2013 PY - 2013 SN - 0011-4561 C1 - 2353-737X SP - 39 EP - 52 DO - 10.4467/2353737XCT.14.004.1992 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/ant-colony-optimization-algorithm-for-the-set-covering-problem KW - set covering problem KW - ant colony optimization KW - heuristic rule
