A general method for combinatorial optimization problems heuristically by the Ant System approach is proposed. According to the two different conditions, some convergence analysis for Ant Colony System (ACS) are obtained. The global searching and convergence ability are improved by adaptively changing the lower pheromone bound. It is proved that ACS finds an optimal solution with probability 1.
