Many important and valuable planning and scheduling problems in logistics and automation are combinatorial optimization problems. The most famous problem of this type is the traveling salesman problem ...

The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research shows how to implement simulated annealing for the Traveling Salesman Problem (find the best ordering of a set of discrete items). The goal of a combinatorial ...

The main result of this paper is that the traveling-salesman problem is a special case of the longest-path problem. Two formulations of the traveling-salesman problem are considered; the version in ...

Have you ever heard of the “traveling salesman” problem? It goes like this: If a salesman must visit all 48 capital cities in the continental United States and visit each city only once, what path ...

The goal of a combinatorial optimization problem is to find the best ordering of a set of discrete items. A classic combinatorial optimization challenge is the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). The ...
