Ant Colony Optimization

Review of the book
In this book, an attempt has been made to cover recent developments in the field of ant colony optimization. In this optimization method, the behaviors of ants are used in solving mathematical problems. It may have happened to you that when you check the movement of the number of ants you see that they are moving behind each other like a highway. Now, if there is an obstacle in this path, you will see that there will be a disturbance in their movement, but after some time this disturbance will disappear and the ants will correct their path. This ability of ants has attracted the attention of researchers and has led to the creation of the ant colony optimization method. This optimization method has the ability to be implemented on many combined problems that are discussed in this book.
