Abstract
This paper reports the use of response surface model (RSM) and reinforcement learning (RL) to solve the travelling salesman
problem (TSP). In contrast to heuristically approaches to estimate the parameters of RL, the method proposed here allows
a systematic estimation of the learning rate and the discount factor parameters.The Q-learning and SARSA algorithms were
applied to standard problems from the TSPLIB library. Computational results demonstrate that the use of RSM is capable of
producing better solutions to both symmetric and asymmetric tests of TSP.
