Abstract:Abstract-Parameter setting is a critical step in the Hopfield networks solution of the traveling salesman problem (TSP), which is often prone to extraneous solutions. This paper presents some stability criteria that ensure the convergence of valid solutions and suppression of infeasible solutions. Our theory is based on an enhanced parametric formulation that maps TSP onto a continuoustime Hopfield network (CHN), which is more advantageous than the Hopfield-Tank (H-T) formulation. A set of analytical condition… Show more
