A new algorithm which could provide a solution to the age old Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has been improved by a student.

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 ...

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 ...

Warwick Business School's Dr Vladimir Deineko and colleagues have now solved a 30-year-old TSP special case problem. The Travelling Salesman Problem, or TSP, was first defined around 150 years ago.

Why is the asymmetric traveling salesman problem so hard? In short, when routes are more expensive in one direction than they are in the other, there are many more routes to consider. The added ...

The Traveling Salesman Problem with Backhauls (TSPB) is defined on a graph G = (V, E). The vertex set is partitioned into V=({v1},L,B), where v1 is a depot, L is a set of linehaul customers, and B is ...

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 ...
