Introduction: The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is one which has commanded much attention of mathematicians and computer scientists specifically because it is so easy to describe and so difficult to solve.
In the case of the traveling salesman problem, the mathematical structure is a graph where each city is denoted by a point (or node) and lines are drawn connecting every two nodes (called arcs or edges).
Besides being a "polytope" of a difficult combinatorial optimization problem from a complexity theory point of view, there are important cases of practical problems that can be formulated as TSP problems and many other problems are generalizations of this problem.
