Fluctuations in the site-disordered traveling salesman problem

open access: yes, 2007
We extend a previous statistical mechanical treatment of the traveling salesman problem by defining a discrete 'site-disordered' problem in which fluctuations about saddle points can be computed.

New Heuristic Algorithms for Solving Single-Vehicle and Multi-Vehicle Generalized Traveling Salesman Problems (GTSP) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Optimization in Industrial Engineering, 2010
Among numerous NP-hard problems, the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has been one of the most explored, yet unknown one. Even a minor modification changes the problem’s status, calling for a different solution.

Classifying traveling salesman problems

open access: yes, 1989
When should two traveling salesman problems be equivalent? This paper contains an answer which is motivated by an example. The equivalence relation is applied to 0,1 symmetric traveling salesman problems.

Chaos driven evolutionary algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem. In: Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yes, 2016
Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most researched combinatorial problems in mathematics. This chapter incorporates chaotic maps in evolutionary algorithms as random number generators and applies it to the TSP.

On the Core of Multiple Longest Traveling Salesman Games

open access: yes
In this paper we introduce multiple longest traveling salesman (MLTS) games. An MLTS game arises from a network in which a salesman has to visit each node (player) precisely once, except its home location, in an order that maximizes the total reward ...

Evolutionary computation applied to combinatorial optimisation problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This thesis addresses the issues associated with conventional genetic algorithms (GA) when applied to hard optimisation problems. In particular it examines the problem of selecting and implementing appropriate genetic operators in order to meet the ...

Iterative Patching and the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yes
Although Branch and Bound (BnB) methods are among the most widely used techniques for solving hard problems, it is still a challenge to make these methods smarter.

The Symmetric Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yesCoRR, 2005
Let M be an nXn symetric matrix, n, even, T, an upper bound for T_OPT, an optimal tour, sigma_T, the smaller-valued perfect matching obtained from alternate edges of T expressed as a product of 2-cycles. Applying the modified Floyd-Warshall algorithm to (sigma_T)^-1M^-, we construct acceptable and 2-circuit cycles some sets of which may yield circuits ...

Implementing Tabu Search to Exploit Sparsity in ATSP Instances [PDF]

open access: yes
Real life traveling salesman problem (TSP) instances are often large,sparse, and asymmetric. Conventional tabu search implementations for the TSP that have been reported in the literature, almost always deals with small, dense and symmetric instances. In
