The Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP) extends the traveling salesman problem by assigning multiple salesmen to visit a set of targets from a common depot, with each target visited exactly once while minimizing total tour length. A…
Many real-world problems can be formulated as a constrained Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). However, the constraints are always complex and numerous, making the TSPs challenging to solve. When the number of complicated constraints grows,…
We introduce the $L_p$ Traveling Salesman Problem ($L_p$-TSP), given by an origin, a set of destinations, and underlying distances. The objective is to schedule a destination visit sequence for a traveler of unit speed to minimize the…
Combinatorial optimization is the field devoted to the study and practice of algorithms that solve NP-hard problems. As Machine Learning (ML) and deep learning have popularized, several research groups have started to use ML to solve…
This technical report provides additional results for the main paper ``Probabilistic bounds on the $k-$Traveling Salesman Problem ($k-$TSP) and the Traveling Repairman Problem (TRP)''. For the $k-$TSP, we extend the probabilistic bounds…
We propose an end-to-end learning framework based on hierarchical reinforcement learning, called H-TSP, for addressing the large-scale Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). The proposed H-TSP constructs a solution of a TSP instance starting…
We show that Hofman's claim of a "counter-example" to Diaby's LP formulation of the TSP is invalid.
End-to-end training of neural network solvers for graph combinatorial optimization problems such as the Travelling Salesperson Problem (TSP) have seen a surge of interest recently, but remain intractable and inefficient beyond graphs with…
Consider~\(n\) nodes~\(\{X_i\}_{1 \leq i \leq n}\) distributed independently across~\(N\) cities contained with the unit square~\(S\) according to a distribution~\(f.\) Each city is modelled as an~\(r_n \times r_n\) square contained…
In this paper, we will propose convex layers to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Firstly, we will focus on human performance on the TSP. Experimental data shows that untrained humans appear to have the ability to perform well in the…
The Moving-Target Traveling Salesman Problem (MT-TSP) seeks a shortest path for an agent that starts at a stationary depot, visits a set of moving targets exactly once, each within one of their respective time windows, and returns to the…
In this work, we consider extensions of both the Line Traveling Salesman and Line Traveling Repairman Problem, in which a single server must service a set of clients located along a line segment under the assumption that not only the…
The Graphical Traveling Salesperson Problem (GTSP) is the problem of assigning, for a given weighted graph, a nonnegative number $x_e$ each edge $e$ such that the induced multi-subgraph is of minimum weight among those that are spanning,…
In many real-world settings, problem instances that need to be solved are quite similar, and knowledge from previous optimization runs can potentially be utilized. We explore this for the Traveling Salesperson problem with time windows…
The Traveling Salesman Problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem widely studied in operations research. Despite its simple formulation, it remains computationally challenging due to the exponential growth of the search…
Multiple TSP ($\mathrm{mTSP}$) is a important variant of $\mathrm{TSP}$ where a set of $k$ salesperson together visit a set of $n$ cities. The $\mathrm{mTSP}$ problem has applications to many real life applications such as vehicle routing.…
We study a new version of the Traveling Salesperson Problem, called \VectorTSP, where the traveler is subject to discrete acceleration constraints, as defined in the paper-and-pencil game Racetrack (also known as Vector Racer). In this…
The generalized multiple depot traveling salesmen problem (GMDTSP) is a variant of the multiple depot traveling salesmen problem (MDTSP), where each salesman starts at a distinct depot, the targets are partitioned into clusters and at least…
This paper aims to develop a learning method for a special class of traveling salesman problems (TSP), namely, the pickup-and-delivery TSP (PDTSP), which finds the shortest tour along a sequence of one-to-one pickup-and-delivery nodes.…
We consider the time-dependent traveling salesman problem (TDTSP), a generalization of the asymmetric traveling salesman problem (ATSP) to incorporate time-dependent cost functions. In our model, the costs of an arc can change arbitrarily…
