Resumen
In this contribution, we will study the influence of the three main components of Best-Worst Ant System: the best-worst pheromone trail update rule, the pheromone trail mutation and the restart. Both the importance of each of them and the fact whether all of them are necessary will be analyzed. The performance of different variants of this algorithm will be tested when solving different instances of the TSP.
