The Road Goes On --$tBibliography --$tIndex 330 $aThis book presents the latest findings on one of the most intensely investigated subjects in computational mathematics--the traveling salesman problem. It sounds simple enough: given a set of cities and the cost of travel between each pair of them, the problem challenges you to find the cheapest route by which to visit all the cities and return home to where you began. Though seemingly modest, this exercise has inspired studies by mathematicians, chemists, and physicists. Teachers use it in the classroom. It has practical applications in genetics, telecommunications, and neuroscience. The authors of this book are the same pioneers who for nearly two decades have led the investigation into the traveling salesman problem. They have derived solutions to almost eighty-six thousand cities, yet a general solution to the problem has yet to be discovered. Here they describe the method and computer code they used to solve a broad range of large-scale problems, and along the way they demonstrate the interplay of applied mathematics with increasingly powerful computing platforms. They also give the fascinating history of the problem--how it developed, and why it continues to intrigue us. 410 0$aPrinceton series in applied mathematics. 606 $aTraveling salesman problem 610 $aAT&T Labs. 610 $aAccuracy and precision. 610 $aAddition. 610 $aAlgorithm. 610 $aAnalysis of algorithms. 610 $aApplied mathematics. 610 $aApproximation algorithm. 610 $aApproximation. 610 $aBasic solution (linear programming). 610 $aBest, worst and average case. 610 $aBifurcation theory. 610 $aBig O notation. 610 $aCPLEX. 610 $aCPU time. 610 $aCalculation. 610 $aChaos theory. 610 $aColumn generation. 610 $aCombinatorial optimization. 610 $aComputation. 610 $aComputational resource. 610 $aComputer. 610 $aConnected component (graph theory). 610 $aConnectivity (graph theory). 610 $aConvex hull. 610 $aCutting-plane method. 610 $aDelaunay triangulation. 610 $aDeterminism. 610 $aDisjoint sets. 610 $aDynamic programming. 610 $aEar decomposition. 610 $aEngineering. 610 $aEnumeration. 610 $aEquation. 610 $aEstimation. 610 $aEuclidean distance. 610 $aEuclidean space. 610 $aFamily of sets. 610 $aFor loop. 610 $aGenetic algorithm. 610 $aGeorge Dantzig. 610 $aGeorgia Institute of Technology. 610 $aGreedy algorithm. 610 $aHamiltonian path. 610 $aHospitality. 610 $aHypergraph. 610 $aImplementation. 610 $aInstance (computer science). 610 $aInstitute. 610 $aInteger. 610 $aIteration. 610 $aLinear inequality. 610 $aLinear programming. 610 $aMathematical optimization. 610 $aMathematics. 610 $aModel of computation. 610 $aNeuroscience. 610 $aNotation. 610 $aOperations research. 610 $aOptimization problem. 610 $aOrder by. 610 $aPairwise. 610 $aParameter (computer programming). 610 $aParity (mathematics). 610 $aPercentage. 610 $aPolyhedron. 610 $aPolytope. 610 $aPricing. 610 $aPrinceton University. 610 $aProcessing (programming language). 610 $aProject. 610 $aQuantity. 610 $aReduced cost. 610 $aRequirement. 610 $aResult. 610 $aRice University. 610 $aRutgers University. 610 $aScientific notation. 610 $aSearch algorithm. 610 $aSearch tree. 610 $aSelf-similarity. 610 $aSimplex algorithm. 610 $aSolution set. 610 $aSolver. 610 $aSource code. 610 $aSpecial case. 610 $aStochastic. 610 $aSubroutine. 610 $aSubsequence. 610 $aSubset. 610 $aSummation. 610 $aTest set. 610 $aTheorem. 610 $aTheory. 610 $aTime complexity. 610 $aTrade-off. 610 $aTravelling salesman problem. 610 $aTree (data structure). 610 $aUpper and lower bounds. 610 $aVariable (computer science). 610 $aVariable (mathematics). 615 0$aTraveling salesman problem. 676 $a511.6 700 $aApplegate$b David L$01617322 702 $aBixby$b Robert E.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aChvátal$b Va?ek$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812920303321 996 $aThe traveling salesman problem$93948444 997 $aUNINA
