Exact and approximate formulations for the close-enough TSP

This work addresses the Close-Enough Traveling Salesman Problem (CETSP), a variant of the classic traveling salesman problem in which we seek to visit neighborhoods of points in the plane (defined as disks) rather than specific points. We present two exact formulations for this problem based on second-order cone programming (SOCP), along with approximated mixed-integer linear … Read more

The Quadratic Selective Travelling Saleman Problem

A well-known extension of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is the Selective TSP (STSP): Each node has an associated profit and instead of visiting all nodes, the most profitable set of nodes, taking into account the tour cost, is visited. The Quadratic STSP (QSTSP) adds the additional complication that each pair of nodes have an … Read more
