Several branch-and-bound algorithms for the exact solution of the asymmetric traveling salesman problem (ATSP), based on the assignment problem (AP) relaxation, have been proposed in the literature.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We consider partitioning algorithms for the approximate solution of large instances of the traveling-salesman problem in the plane. These ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses full code samples to detail an evolutionary algorithm technique that apparently hasn't been published before. The goal of a combinatorial optimization ...

Not long ago, a team of researchers from Stanford and McGill universities broke a 35-year record in computer science by an almost imperceptible margin — four hundredths of a trillionth of a trillionth ...

Forget GPS. With no fancy maps or even brains, immune system cells can solve a simple version of the traveling salesman problem, a computational conundrum that has vexed mathematicians for decades.

These routes were comparable to the solutions calculated by a computer algorithm. Currently, when there are many target cities, the best way to tackle the traveling-salesman problem is a tool called ...

The goal of a combinatorial optimization problem is to find a set of distinct integer values that minimizes some cost function. The most famous example is the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). There ...
