Abstract This paper is a survey of genetic algorithms for the traveling salesman problem. Genetic algorithms are randomized search techniques that simulate some of the processes observed in natural evolution. In this paper, a simple genetic algorithm is introduced, and various extensions are presented to solve the traveling salesman problem. Computational results are also reported for both random and classical problems taken from the operations research literature.
