Abstract

In this thesis we will discuss the setting of the parameters of the Max-Min
Ant System. In the literature it is possible to find theoretical and practical
considerations of these parameters, nevertheless it seems that they have
not been studied in a joint manner. We propose a theoretical study of the
relationship between them, giving the user some further knowledge at the
time of setting the algorithm's parameters and some new idea are proposed.
In particular, the number of ants is studied in more detail. Then we will
study the settings of the Tmax and Tmin in a way which is diferent from
the most commonly used technique, taking in consideration theoretical as
well as experimental problems. Finally, some experiments are shown that
demonstrate the validity of our proposals.
