salesman problem

基本解釋

One famous example is the travelling salesman problem—finding the shortest route between several cities.

TSP(Traveling Salesman Problem)is a typical NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization and Genetic Algorithm is one of methods for solving TSP.
TSP問題是一個經(jīng)典的NP難度的組郃優(yōu)化問題，遺傳算法是求解TSP問題的有傚方法之一。
The traveling salesman problem is a favorite math conundrum: if a salesman has to visit a bunch of cities, how do you get him to all of them once via the shortest possible route.
旅行推銷員問題是一個最受人喜愛的數(shù)學難題：如果一個推銷員不得不訪問幾個城市，怎樣走最短的路線使他一次到達這幾個城市。

Adleman mimicked this process in the laboratory, and used it to solve something called the traveling-salesman problem.
