Traveling Salesman Problem - Optimization

  • I found an optimization algorithm for TSP which beats christofides algorithm and it runs in N^2 time.
  • Also I solved rl11849.tsp instances which is from TSBLIB, and the cost of the tour got 1071737.956 and total time taken 1097.6395 seconds.
  • The important thing is not used any external hardware which is completely run on Lenovo laptop and the cost of that laptop is Rs.35000.
  • The code is completely working in python.
  • If the same implemented on C, it may run within 100-200 seconds max even for 11849 instances.
  • It is deterministic algorithm, which means any number of times you run the code will get same cost of the tour for the problem.
  • The algorithm uses a mathematical formula which I created, based on that it will run once get the tour and it passed to 2 opt. Almost I have checked more than 70+ TSBLIB instances and it beats christofides algorithm, also this algorithm will work for both STSP and ATSP as well.
  • I'm willing to showcase my algorithm to the team members. So, request you to send a feedback.
