A Comparative Study of Neural Networks methods & the African Buffalo Optimization for the Travelling Salesman’s Problems

This paper presents a comparative study of some Neural Networks methods and the newly-designed African Buffalo Optimization in solving 12 popular benchmark symmetric Travelling Salesman’s Problems. Recently, researchers are exploring solutions to difficult combinatorial problems using the Neural Net...
