rlevo-evolution 0.1.0

Evolutionary algorithms for rlevo (internal crate — use `rlevo` for the full API)
Documentation
//! Ant Colony Optimization over permutation genomes — **stub**.
//!
//! This module path is reserved so the public API surface is stable,
//! but the implementation is deferred to a future release. A useful
//! ACO-TSP implementation is a substantial design exercise of its own
//! (pheromone-matrix update, tour construction, candidate lists) and
//! does not belong inside the continuous-domain strategies that the
//! other nine swarm algorithms in this module target.
//!
//! All trait methods below panic with `todo!()`. The struct exists so
//! the [`Permutation`](crate::genome::Permutation) genome kind has at
//! least one declared consumer and downstream crates can
//! unambiguously reference the future API surface.
