Keywod: Hieachical Cluteig, Euclidea TSP, Tou Cotuctio, Adjacecy I. INTRODUCTION Huma ha a atual ability to clute multiple object quickly. Thi capacity ait huma i makig outie deciio. Howeve makig compute act like huma beig i olvig the poblem i vey difficult ad demadig the attetio of compute cietit ad egiee aoud the wold util ow [] Cluteig poblem ha bee appoached fom divee domai of kowledge like gaph theoy, tatitic, atificial eual etwok ad o o. Thee ha bee gowig iteet i tudyig combiatoial optimizatio poblem by cluteig tategy, with a pecial emphai o the Euclidea Tavelig Salema Poblem (ETSP [-]. Claical ETSP appea a a fudametal poblem i vaiou poblem uch a tapotatio, maufactuig ad logitic applicatio, thi poblem ha caught much attetio of mathematicia ad compute cietit. The et of thi pape will decibe about motivatio of thi tudy egadig Euclidea TSP i ectio II, objective thi tudy will be decibed i ectio III. Related wok will be decibed i ectio IV ad ectio V decibe hieachical cluteig appoach. Sectio VI ad VII Nu Azma Abu#, Naa Suyaa Hema#, Shahi Shahib # # Faculty of Ifomatio ad Commuicatio Techology Uiveiti Tekikal Malayia Melaka #{ ua, uyaa,hahiahib}@utem.edu.my decibe hieachical cluteig poce ad cluteig poce to Euclidea TSP. The impact of cluteig poce will dicu i ectio VIII. Fial ectio (i.e. ectio IX will decibe cocluio. II. MOTIVATION Euclidea Tavelig alema poblem (ETSP i a combiatoial global optimizatio tak of fidig the hotet tou of vetice give the weight of edge. I a moe fomal way the goal i to fid the leat weight Hamiltoia cycle i a complete gaph G. The TSP poblem i a NP-had poblem. A NP-had poblem i extemely ulikely to have a polyomial algoithm to olve it optimally although it i ot poved that the wot cae expoetial olutio uig time ae uavoidable. Good appoximatio algoithm ca poduce olutio that ae oly a few pecet loge tha a optimal olutio ad the time of olvig the poblem i a low-ode polyomial fuctio of the umbe of vetice. Some appoximatig algoithm poduce tou whoe legth ae cloe to that of the hotet tou, but the time complexity i ubtatially highe tha liea. III. OBJECTIVE OF STUDY The pimay objective of thi tudy i to poduce a bette hieachical cluteig tategy that fit ito Euclidea TSP olutio method. The cuet eeach i hieachical cluteig to olve ETSP motly poducig thei bet algoithm with the uig time ea O(. Fo pactical iduty pupoe, a algoithm with uig time O( 3 i till acceptable/viable ad aveage fial ETSP olutio i maximum % above the bet kow olutio. The othe uppotig objective ae to develop efficiet algoithm which poduce o edge coig i plaa gaph; clute geeatio fo lage ize clute; poduce Hamilto path withi ad ite clute ; ite clute coectio a iitial tou to fom global tou. IV. RELATED WORK Haxhimua et. al [] fomulated a pyamid algoithm fo E-TSP motivated by the failue to idetify a exitig algoithm that could povide a good fit to the ubject data. Moe ecetly, hieachical (pyamid algoithm have bee ued to model metal mechaim ivolved i othe type of viual poblem. The mai apect of the model ae (multi eolutio pyamid achitectue ad a coae to fie poce

Thi algoithm wa motivated by the popetie of the huma viual ytem ha mai idea to ue agglomeative (bottom up pocee to educe the ize of the iput by cluteig the ode ito mall goup ad top-dow efiemet to fid a appoximate olutio, a ame a Gaham do i []. The ize of the iput (umbe of vetice i the gaph i educed o that a optimal olutio ca be foud by the combiatoial each. A pyamid i ued to educe the ize of the iput i the bottomup pocee. I bottom-up cluteig, vetice ae cloe eighbo ae put ito the ame clute uig geedy appoach. Thee cluteed vetice ae coideed a a igle vetex at the educed eolutio. Gaph pyamid tategy ue MST uig Bouuvka algoithm. MST i ued a atual lowe boud fo TSP olutio. I the cae TSP with tiagle iequality which i the cae fo the Euclidea TSP, MST ca be ued a to pove the uppe boud. Gaph pyamid olutio give good appoximatio compaed to TSPLIB. Solutio eo fo thi olutio ted to lige aoud %. Ruig time pefomace i quadatic fo thi olutio epecially wheeve umbe of vetice i moe tha 0. V. HIERARCHICAL CLUSTERING APPROACH A cluteig algoithm i expected to dicove the atual goupig that exit i a et of patte. I hieachical cluteig, the data ae ot patitioed ito a paticula clute i a igle tep.
