چکیده

We introduce a new class of valid inequalities for the symmetric travelling salesman polytope. The family is not of the common handle-tooth variety. We show that these inequalities are all facet-inducing and have Chvv atal rank 2.

A modified elite ACO based avoiding premature convergence for travelling salesmen problem

The Travelling Salesmen Problem (TSP) is one of the most important and famous combinational optimization problems that aim to find the shortest tour. In this problem, the salesman starts to move from an arbitrary place called depot and after visiting all nodes, finally comes back to depot. Solving this problem seems hard because program statement is simple and leads this problem belonging to NP...

Negotiation Based Branch & Bound and the Negotiating Salesmen Problem

We introduce a new multiagent negotiation algorithm that explores the space of joint plans of action:NB3. Each negotiator generates a search tree by considering both actions performed by itself and actions performed by others. In order to test the algorithm we present a new variant of the Traveling Salesman Problem, in which there is not one, but many salesmen. The salesmen need to negotiate wi...

Learning the Multiple Traveling Salesmen Problem with Permutation Invariant Pooling Networks

While there are optimal TSP solvers as well as recent learning-based approaches, the generalization of the TSP to the multiple Traveling Salesmen Problem is much less studied. Here, we design a neural network solution that treats the salesmen, the cities, and the depot as three different sets of varying cardinalities. Coupled with a normalization algorithm, a dedicated loss, and a search method...

An ant colony algorithm for solving fixed destination multi-depot multiple traveling salesmen problems

The fixed destination multi-depot multiple traveling salesmen problem (MmTSP) is a problem, in which more than one salesmen depart from several starting cities and having returned to the starting city, form tours so that each city is visited with exactly one salesman, and the tour lengths stay within certain limits. This problem is of a great complexity and few investigations have been done on ...

New Competitive Ratios for Generalized Online Routing

We consider online routing optimization problems where the objective is to minimize the time needed to visit a set of locations under various constraints; the problems are online because the set of locations are revealed incrementally over time. We make no probabilistic assumptions whatsoever about the problem data. We consider two main problems: (1) the online Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) ...
