Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a metaheuristic algorithm which has stages; coding, selection, crossover, and mutation. The crossover operator plays an important role in producing offspring to find solutions. Single Point Crossover (SPC) and Two Point Crossover (TPC) are classic crossover operators that are easy to apply to ordinal representation coding rather than path representation coding. The greedy algorithm is applied to the SPC operator to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) to improve the performance of the genetic algorithm in the ordinal representation coding scheme. The results show that the proposed Greedy Single Point Crossover (GSPC) has higher performance in finding the global optimal solution for all population sizes and cities used, but it costs computation time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
