Description for The Traveling Salesman Problem: A Computational Study
Hardback. Presents the findings on one of the most intensely investigated subjects in computational mathematics - the travelling salesman problem. This book describes the method and computer code used to solve a range of large-scale problems, and demonstrates the interplay of applied mathematics with increasingly powerful computing platforms. Series: Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics. Num Pages: 608 pages, 200 line illus. BIC Classification: PBW; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 241 x 165 x 43. Weight in Grams: 1056.
This 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 ... Read more
