Abstract

By analyzing the existing nearest insertion method, a kind of reference point based near insertion approach (RPBNI) and its improvement version (I-RPBNI) with O(n2) and O(n3) polynomial time performances are proposed respectively to solve traveling salesman problem (TSP). An effective two-stage approach combining simulated annealing with I-RPBNI is proposed. Numerical simulations based on typical benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency and robustness of the proposed approach.
