Extractions: Input Description: A weighted graph G Problem: Find the cycle of minimum cost visiting all of the vertices of G exactly once. Excerpt from The Algorithm Design Manual : The traveling salesman problem is the most notorious NP-complete problem. This is a function of its general usefulness, and because it is easy to explain to the public at large. Imagine a traveling salesman who has to visit each of a given set of cities by car. Although the problem arises in transportation applications, its most important applications arise in optimizing the tool paths for manufacturing equipment. For example, consider a robot arm assigned to solder all the connections on a printed circuit board. The shortest tour that visits each solder point exactly once defines the most efficient path for the robot. A similar application arises in minimizing the amount of time taken by a graphics plotter to draw a given figure. The best book available for this problem is The Traveling Salesman Problem : A Guided Tour of Combinatorial Optimization by E.L. Lawler (Editor) and A. H. Rinnooy-Kan.
The Traveling Salesman Problem

http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~chvatal/tsp.html

Extractions: The traveling salesman problem, or TSP for short, is this: given a finite number of ``cities'' along with the cost of travel between each pair of them, find the cheapest way of visiting all the cities and returning to your starting point. (Here, we consider just the symmetric TSP, where traveling from city X to city Y costs the same as traveling from Y to X; the ``way of visiting all the cities'' is simply the order in which the cities are visited.) To put it differently, the data consist of integer weights assigned to the edges of a finite complete graph; the objective is to find a hamiltonian cycle (that is, a cycle passing through all the vertices) of the minimum total weight. In this context, hamiltonian cycles are commonly called tours TSPLIB is Gerhard Reinelt's library of 110 instances of the traveling salesman problem. Some of these instances arise from the task of drilling holes in printed circuit boards and others have been constructed artificially. (A popular way of constructing a TSP instance is to choose a set of actual cities and to define the cost of travel from X to Y as the distance between X and Y.) None of them (with a single exception) is contrived to be hard and none of them is contrived to be easy; some of them have been solved (a few of these are shown here ) and others have not.

http://www.math.princeton.edu/tsp/histmain.html

Extractions: Mathematical problems related to the traveling salesman problem were treated in the 1800s by the Irish mathematician Sir William Rowan Hamilton and by the British mathematician Thomas Penyngton Kirkman . The picture below is a photograph of Hamilton's Icosian Game that requires players to complete tours through the 20 points using only the specified connections. A nice discussion of the early work of Hamilton and Kirkman can be found in the book Graph Theory 1736-1936 by N. L. Biggs, E. K. LLoyd, and R. J. Wilson, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1976. The general form of the TSP appears to be have been first studied by mathematicians starting in the 1930s by Karl Menger in Vienna and Harvard. The problem was later promoted by Hassler Whitney and Merrill Flood at Princeton. A detailed treatment of the connection between Menger and Whitney, and the growth of the TSP as a topic of study can be found in Alexander Schrijver 's paper `` On the history of combinatorial optimization (till 1960)

Projection Pursuit The objective of this project is to study the problem of finding an optimal projection of data contained in a high dimensional space to a lower dimensional space. The Bayes Classifier is used to classify the data in the low dimensional space. Hybrid Local Search Algorithms This research creates hybrid algorithms that combine heuristic procedures that guarantee long term convergence (globally optimal solutions) with heuristic procedures that guarantee reasonable finite-time performance (locally optimal solutions). Formulating the Meta-Heuristic Tabu Search The goal of this project is to mathematically formulate probabilistic tabu search to be used in conjunction with other heuristics (i.e., simulated annealing), in such a way that the heuristic can be easily modeled as a nonstationary Markov Chain. Discrete Manufacturing Process Design Optimization This research is motivated by the Air Forces interest in identifying optimal manufacturing process designs, where the finished unit (e.g., a titanium integrated blade rotor) meets certain geometric and microstructural specifications, and is produced at minimum cost.

http://w1.859.telia.com/~u85905224/tsp/TSP.htm

Extractions: Home email The Travelling Saleman's Problem an unfinished story This page is about what is known as the "Travelling Salesman's Problem". A travelling salesman is to visit a number of cities; how to plan the trip so every city is visited once and just once and the whole trip is as short as possible ? The problem is old and still unsolved. It's clear that some of all possible trips has to be the shortest (there might be more than one beeing equally short), but at the present no other method is known but to calculate all possible tours. And the number of trips grows very rapidly with the number of cities - and eventually the computation of the trips overwhelms any computer. Below are some Java Applets to visualize the problem. They start with a routine that is in practical use, and explore the efficiency of it and some variations. You can point with the mouse and click to locate cities as you wish. (Limits: at most 150 cities and at least 3 pixels apart) Click on the "solve" button and the applet shows how its algorithm solves the problem. The length given for the so constructed tour presumes that the size of the area is 100 * 100 length units. The "random" button gives 100 cities randomly located.
