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 ...

The Travelling Salesman Problem with Pickups and Deliveries (TSPPD) consists in designing a minimum cost tour that starts at the depot, provides either a pickup or delivery service to each of the ...

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

The science of computational complexity aims to solve the TSP -- the Travelling Salesman Problem -- when the time required to find an optimal solution is vital for practical solutions to modern-day ...

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 ...

We have found the best path to take between the stars. The travelling salesman problem, an infamous mathematical puzzle that seeks the shortest route between many locations while visiting each only ...

Mathematical puzzles don't often get to star in feature films, but P vs NP is the subject of an upcoming thriller from Timothy Lanzone called "Travelling Salesman". The titles refers to the ...
