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.

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 (TSP) remains one of the most challenging NP‐hard problems in combinatorial optimisation, with significant implications for logistics, network design and route ...

The most efficient path that visits each of 2 million stars just once We have found the best path to take between the stars. The travelling salesman problem, an infamous mathematical puzzle that ...
