In this paper, the selective travelling salesperson problem with stochastic service times, travel times, and travel costs (SSTSP) is addressed. In the SSTSP, service times, travel times and travel ...

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 ...

Bumblebees aren’t just hard workers, they’re efficient, too. These insects have a grasp of maths that enables them to crack the classic travelling salesman problem as they forage for pollen and nectar ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

It is a mathematical puzzle which has vexed academics and travelling salesmen alike, but new research from Queen Mary, University of London's School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, reveals how ...

We have found the best path to take between the stars. The travelling salesman problem, an infamous mathematical puzzle that seeks the shortest route between many locations while visiting each only ...
