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 ...

It was a combination of things, physical and metaphysical, that killed Arthur Miller's traveling salesman Willie Loman. Now a computer scientist at Washington University in St. Louis has developed and ...

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 ...

A formulation of the traveling salesman problem with more than one salesman is offered. The particular formulation has computational advantages over other formulations. Experience is obtained with an ...

The consistent traveling salesman problem aims to identify minimum-cost routes to be followed by a single vehicle so as to provide a set of customers with service that adheres to arrival-time ...

The human mind is a path-planning wizard. Think back to pre-lockdown days when we all ran multiple errands back to back across town. There was always a mental dance in the back of your head to make ...
