Abstract :
The study aims at Supermarket Distribution Problem, a mathematical model is constructed and an ant colony algorithm with tabu search is put forward. The algorithm is tested in combination with Supermarket Distribution Problem. The experimental results indicated that the algorithm solves Supermarket Distribution Problem effectively with quick convergence, avoids local optimum, high precision solution characteristics.
