Discrete symbiotic organisms search algorithm for travelling salesman problem

作者：

Highlights：

• The objective is to evaluate the efficiency of DSOS algorithm to solve TSP.

• To verify the performance of the DSOS, using several benchmark instances from the TSPLIB.

• Experimental results show that DSOS competes favourably with other existing techniques.
