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 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 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 ...

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 ...

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

Here, we demonstrate an analogue electronic computing system for solving the travelling salesman problem, which mimics efficient foraging behavior of an amoeboid organism by the spontaneous dynamics ...

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.

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 ...
