遗传算法与 TSP 难题：智慧的碰撞

一、TSP 难题：城市穿行舞

想象一群旅行商要周游 N 个城市，他们必须从出发点出发，依次访问所有城市，再回到出发点，且每个城市只能访问一次。他们的目标是找到一条最短的哈密顿路径，也就是 TSP（旅行商问题）的经典难题。TSP 难题乍看简单，却是一个 NP 难问题，这意味着使用传统算法在合理时间内找到最优解几乎是不可能的。

二、遗传算法：自然的启示

遗传算法，一种受达尔文进化论启发的近似计算方法，为 TSP 难题提供了高效的解决方案。遗传算法将候选解视为种群中的个体，每个个体由一个基因型表示，编码着潜在的解决方案。

种群不断进化，适者生存。个体间的竞争基于适应度，即问题的目标函数值。适应度高的个体更有可能参与生殖，将基因信息传递给下一代。经过选择、生殖和变异等遗传算子，种群逐渐向最优解逼近。

三、遗传算法解决 TSP：步步寻觅

将遗传算法应用于 TSP 难题，第一步是将 TSP 编码成遗传算法识别的基因型。通常使用整数编码，将整数数组的顺序表示为路径。

有了初始种群后，遗传算法的迭代进化便开始了。选择算符决定哪些个体参与生殖，如轮盘赌选择法。生殖算符（如多点交叉）交换个体之间的基因信息，产生新的后代。

种群一代代进化，不断产生新的个体。当达到预定的进化代数或最优适应度后，算法终止，种群中适应度最高的个体即为 TSP 难题的近似最优解。

    def __init__(self, population_size, mutation_rate, crossover_rate):
        self.population_size = population_size

                child[i] = np.random.randint(0, N)
        return child

    def evolve(self, population):
        # Perform selection, crossover, and mutation to evolve the population
        new_population = np.zeros((population_size, N))
        for i in range(population_size):
            parents = self.select_parents(population)
            child = self.crossover(parents)
            child = self.mutate(child)

        return new_population

        # Print the best solution
        best_path = population[np.argmin(fitness)]
