Particle swarm optimization with partial search for solving traveling salesman problem

Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well-studied combinatorial optimization problem and recently a number of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based methods have been investigated to solve TSP. Among the popular conventional PSO based methods, several methods consider Swap Sequence (SS) and Swap O...
