Abstract

Ant Colony Optimization is a constructive meta-heuristic that uses an analogue of ant trail pheromones to learn about good features of solutions. In this paper, using the difference equations as a tool of research, we propose the mathematical model of the distribution of pheromone at the classic double bridge experiment, explain the mathematical model of the pheromone function in the arcs of a connected graph and specify the mathematical models of pheromone update in Ant Colony System (ACS) and Max-Min Ant System (MMAS) algorithms.
