  ABSTRACT: In this paper, a recently developed nature-inspired optimization algorithm called the hydrological cycle algorithm (HCA) is evaluated on the traveling salesman problem (TSP). The HCA is based on the continuous movement of water drops in the natural hydrological cycle. The HCA performance is tested on various geometric structures and standard benchmarks instances. The HCA has successfully solved TSPs and obtained the optimal solution for 20 of 24 benchmarked instances, and near-optimal for the rest. The obtained results illustrate the efficiency of using HCA for solving discrete domain optimization problems. The solution quality and number of iterations were compared with those of other metaheuristic algorithms. The comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of the HCA.
