Phase Transition Properties of Clustered Travelling Salesman Problem Instances Generated with Evolutionary Computation
Abstract. This paper introduces a generator that creates problem instances for the Euclidean symmetric travelling salesman problem. To fit real world problems, we look at maps con...

Algorithms and Experimental Study for the Traveling Salesman Problem of Second Order
We introduce a new combinatorial optimization problem, which is a generalization of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and which we call Traveling Salesman Problem of Second Orde...

Metaheuristics for the Asymmetric Hamiltonian Path Problem
One of the most important applications of the Asymmetric Hamiltonian Path Problem is in scheduling. In this paper we describe a variant of this problem, and develop both a mathemat...

A hybrid heuristic approach for solving the generalized traveling salesman problem
The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an NPhard problem that extends the classical traveling salesman problem by partitioning the nodes into clusters and looking fo...

Improved Approximations for TSP with Simple Precedence Constraints
In this paper, we consider variants of the traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints. We characterize hard input instances for Christofides' algorithm and Hoogeve...
