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 planning ...

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 ...

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 ...

The traveling salesman problem is one of the basic problems that many theoretical computer scientists have been working on. Many scientists think that there is no algorithm for the traveling salesman ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
