The paper describes a new algorithm to produce r-optimal tours for the travelling salesman problem. This algorithm is faster than the original r-optimal method, and computation times increase much ...

Figure 1: Traveling Salesman Problem Using an Evolutionary Algorithm in Action This article assumes you have intermediate or better programming skill but doesn't assume you know anything about ...

The travelling salesman problem (TSP) remains one of the most challenging NP‐hard problems in combinatorial optimisation, with significant implications for logistics, network design and route ...

In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman devotes a chapter to the history of LP and the development of a multipurpose tool called the simplex algorithm. (Cook’s treatment of LP is introductory, rather ...

The bipartite traveling tournament problem (BTTP) is an NP-complete scheduling problem whose solution is a double round-robin inter-league tournament with minimum total travel distance. The 2n-team ...
