Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem Reduction Algorithms
The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an extension of the well-known traveling salesman problem. In GTSP, we are given a partition of cities into groups and we are required to find a minimum length tour that includes exactly one city from each group. The aim of this paper is to present a problem reduction algorithm that deletes redundant vertices and edges, preserving the optimal solution. The algorithm's running time is O(N3 ) in the worst case, but it is significantly faster in practice. The algorithm has reduced the problem size by 15
