Description

The traveling salesman problem is a classic example of combinatorial minimization. It involves finding the shortest itinerary for a traveling salesman who must visit each of N cities in turn. One technique for solving this problem is the method of simulated annealing, and this notebook uses InterCall to access an external subroutine that implements the annealing algorithm. An example in which an additional constraint, such as adding a penalty for a river crossing, is also given.
