2. The branch and bound algorithm The Branch & Bound method follows the technique of breaking one problem into several little chunks of problems. So it solves a series of problems. Each of these sub-problems may have multiple solutions. The solution you choose for one problem may have an ef...
Great progress was made in the late 1970s and 1980, when Grötschel, Padberg, Rinaldi and others managed to exactly solve instances with up to 2392 cities, using cutting planes and branch-and-bound. In the 1990s, Applegate, Bixby, Chvátal, and Cook developed the program Concorde that has...

complexity, the decision version of the TSP (where, given a length L, the task is to decide whether any tour is shorter than L) belongs to the class of NP-complete problems. Thus, it is likely that the worst case running time for any algorithm for the TSP increases exponentially with ...
The MIP formulation of the TSP allows for tree search with Branch & Bound which partitions (Branch) and prunes (Bound) the search space by keeping track of upper and lower bounds for the objective of the optimal solution. Search strategies and selection of the variable to branch on influence...
