The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 66, No. 4 (APRIL 2015), pp. 615-626 (12 pages) We introduce and study the Travelling Salesman Problem with Multiple Time Windows and Hotel ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We motivate, derive, and implement a multilevel approach to the travelling salesman problem. The resulting algorithm progressively coarsens ...

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 ...

These routes were comparable to the solutions calculated by a computer algorithm. Currently, when there are many target cities, the best way to tackle the traveling-salesman problem is a tool called ...

Not long ago, a team of researchers from Stanford and McGill universities broke a 35-year record in computer science by an almost imperceptible margin — four hundredths of a trillionth of a trillionth ...

A theoretical physicist named Eugene Wigner once referred to “the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics” -- a phrase that, on first hearing, sounds paradoxical. Math seems like rationality itself, ...
