The complexity increases with the factorial of n nodes in each specific problem. Meta-heuristic algorithms are an optimization algorithm that able to solve TSP problem towards a satisfactory solution. To date, there are many meta-heuristic algorithms introduced in literatures which consist of different philosophies of intensification and diversification. This paper focuses on 6 heuristic algorithms: Nearest Neighbor, Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search, Ant Colony Optimization and Tree Physiology Optimization. The study in this paper includes comparison of computation, accuracy and convergence. © 2017, CIMNE, Barcelona, Spain. date: 2019 publisher: Springer Netherlands official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85034599867&doi=10.1007%2fs11831-017-9247-y&partnerID=40&md5=09f0f0dd53f74be695248768e2e93740 id_number: 10.1007/s11831-017-9247-y full_text_status: none publication: Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering volume: 26 number: 2 pagerange: 367-380 refereed: TRUE issn: 11343060 citation: Halim, A.H. and Ismail, I.
