Abstract

Finding shortest path considering multiple objectives is a widely studied graph problem which yields multiple optimal paths called the pareto optimal path set by applying dominance principle. Literature reveals that solving such problems within polynomial time is difficult even for smaller instances using traditional algorithms. This study investigates the convergence of swarm intelligent algorithms and compares them with performance metrics such as the pareto coverage, divergence rate, convergence time and cost for different sample networks.
