Multiple travelling salesman problem (MTSP) is a typical computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem,which is an extension of the famous travelling salesman problem...
Abstract. The rooted delay-constrained minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising for example in the design of centralized broadcasting ...
We formulate contour correspondence as a Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP), incorporating proximity information. By maintaining the neighborhood relation between points this way,...
