“…LRT : length of the resulting tour, LOT : length of the optimal tour. Table 1 shows a comparison of the two proposed alternatives of the monarchy metaheuristic MN 1 and MN 2 and other methods in the literature that have used integer distances, the results of GA (genetic algorithm) and AMCPA (adaptive multicrossover population algorithm) were taken from [4], the results of HGA (hybrid genetic algorithm) were taken from [5], the results of HDE (hybrid differential evolution algorithm) and DPSO (discrete particle swam optimization) were taken from [6], and the results of SA (simulated annealing), ACO (ant colony optimization), and TPASHO (two-phase hybrid optimization algorithm) were taken from [7]. As seen in Table 1, the results produced by the proposed method are better than those of all the other methods for Eil101, Eil76, Eil51, and St70 test problems, and the optimum solutions are obtained for the Eil51 and St70 instances.…”
