Abstract

As a typical NP-complete problem, 0/1 Knapsack Problem (KP), has been widely applied in many domains for solving practical problems. Although ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms can obtain approximate solutions to 0/1 KP, there exist some shortcomings such as the low convergence rate, premature convergence and weak robustness. In order to get rid of the above-mentioned shortcomings, this paper proposes a new kind of Physarum-based hybrid optimization algorithm, denoted as PM-ACO, based on the critical paths reserved by Physarum-inspired mathematical (PM) model. By releasing additional pheromone to items that are on the important pipelines of PM model, PM-ACO algorithms can enhance item pheromone matrix and realize a positive feedback process of updating item pheromone. The experimental results in two different datasets show that PM-ACO algorithms have a stronger robustness and a higher convergence rate compared with traditional ACO algorithms.
