... guarantee a solution, if one exists, but it requires a lot of memory space. Escape algorithm is fast and uses less memory space, but it cannot guarantee a solution (Park, 2002). The main difficulty of network optimization techniques is to define all nodes before an algorithm runs (Park, 2002). The genetic...
