A 'branch and bound' algorithm is presented for solving the traveling salesman problem. The set of all tours (feasible solutions) is broken up into increasingly small subsets by a procedure called ...

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 ...

After Karp’s paper was published, many computer scientists set their sights on creating an efficient algorithm to find approximate solutions to the traveling salesman problem — round-trip ...

Given a graph with arc costs, the Bottleneck Traveling Salesman Problem is to find a Hamiltonian circuit that minimizes the largest cost of any of its arcs. Lower bounds for the problem (bottleneck ...
