Hi guys! I'm looking forward to doing some research on well-known Traveling Salesman Problem. However, I never went into implementing this algorithm with some optimizations included as I don't know much about them. I tried googling, hoping to find some good resource of information about research on this particular problem, and was surprised not being able to find a good one. Does anyone know any good free e-book or anything similar which would guide me into details of this problem, as well as some optimizations and implementations, so I can try some of them and try to think about something clever myself, considering this problem? Thanks in advance!
The first two hits from googling are Wikipedia (with multiple links at the bottom) and a devoted site at University of Waterloo.
If that is not enough for a start, please be more specific on what you are searching for.
Thanks for the Waterloo's article, I somehow didn't notice it.
