1 1 iscrete Mathematics The Travelling Salesperson problem The Nearest Neighbour lgorithm The Lower ound lgorithm The Tour Improvement lgorithm
2 The Travelling Salesperson: Typically a travelling salesperson will want to cover all the towns in their area using the minimum driving distance. Travelling salesperson problems tackle this by first turning the towns and roads into a network. We have seen that finding a tour that visits every arc (route inspection) depended on earlier work by Euler. Similarly the problem of finding a tour that visits every node (travelling salesperson) was investigated in the 19 th entury by the Irish mathematician Sir William Hamilton. efinition: Hamiltonian cycle is a tour which contains every node once
3 with weight 1 There are just three essentially different Hamiltonian cycles: onsider the Hamiltonian cycles for this graph 2 with weight 17 with weight
4 However, not all graphs have Hamiltonian cycles. onsider this graph: salesperson living in town, say, may still want to find the shortest round trip visiting every town. To enable you to use the next three algorithms you can replace any network like this one by the complete network of shortest distances. The shortest distance between and is 33 (via : ) The shortest distance between and is 3 (via : ) dding direct arcs and does not change the problem but does produce a graph with Hamiltonian cycles. The rest of this module assumes the problem is always the classical one of finding a Hamiltonian cycle of minimum weight with no repetition of nodes. Our next algorithm is called the Nearest Neighbour it will find a solution to a travelling salesperson problem but not necessarily the best (optimum). So we will then look at finding limits between which the optimum solution must lie and how to improve any solution we find.
5 The Nearest Neighbour lgorithm To find a (reasonably good) Hamiltonian cycle i.e. a closed trail containing every node of a graph Step 1 hoose any starting node Step 2 onsider the arcs which join the node just chosen to nodes as yet unchosen. Pick the one with minimum weight and add it to the cycle Step 3 Repeat step 2 until all nodes have been chosen Step Then add the arc that joins the last-chosen node to the first-chosen node
6 To find a (reasonably good) Hamiltonian cycle i.e. a closed trail containing every node of this graph using the Nearest Neighbour lgorithm: 7 7 E E hoose any starting node let s say onsider the arcs which join the node just chosen to nodes as yet unchosen. Pick the one with minimum weight and add it to the cycle The first arc is as is the least of,, and From, E is chosen as is the least of 7, 7, and Then E,, and finally The cycle is E which has weight 2 ( ) The Nearest Neighbour lgorithm is greedy because at each stage the immediately best route is chosen, without a look ahead, or back, to possible future problems or better solutions. We do know that the optimum solution will have an equal or lower weight than it (by definition) and so the algorithm has produced an upper bound. This then begs the question: an we find a lower bound to see how much potential there is for improvement?
7 Step 1 Step 2 The Lower ound lgorithm To find a lower bound for a travelling salesperson problem Step 3 Pick any node and remove the two connecting arcs with least weight Find the minimum spanning tree for the other nodes using Prim s algorithm dd back in the two arcs removed previously Step The weight of the resulting graph (which may not be a cycle) is a lower bound i.e. any optimum solution must have at least this weight
8 To find a lower bound for a Hamiltonian cycle using the Lower ound lgorithm: 7 How do we know this? 7 E Pick any node and remove the two connecting arcs with least weight Let s pick and remove arcs and E Find the minimum spanning tree for E using Prim s algorithm Pick any starting node, say,. The shortest arc is, then E and finally E. Now we add in the two arcs we removed earlier This tree has weight 2 ( ) The optimum solution must have at least this weight Well, any Hamiltonian cycle must consist of arcs (because there are nodes): 2 arcs into and out of and the other three arcs connecting,, and E. The two arcs from must have weight of at least +, since these are the smallest available. y applying Prim s algorithm to,, and E we can see that the three arcs connecting,, and E must have at least weight + + (the minimum connector or spanning tree) Hence, it is impossible for any Hamiltonian cycle to have weight less than
9 The Tour Improvement lgorithm To look for possible improvement in a tour found by the nearest neighbour algorithm: 1 2 Step 1 Number the nodes in the order of the tour; start at node 1 Step 2 onsider just the part of the tour Step 3 Swap the middle nodes to change the order to Step ompare the two and keep the order with the lower weight 3 Step Move on to node 2 and repeat until each node has been the start node once
10 To look for possible improvement in a tour using the tour improvement algorithm: Here is a network: 7 7 nd here is a tour: E It has weight 3 Let s see if we can improve on that: We have now had each node at the front and so we stop. The final tour is E. E Pick as node 1 and consider the tour from --E- This has weight + + = 21 Now swap the middle two nodes nd you get -E-- This has weight = 20 So swap E and and the tour becomes E Now look at E E = = 22 E = = 17 So swap and and the tour becomes E Now look at = = 1 = = 20 So leave the tour as E Now look at E E = + + = 1 E = + + = 20 So leave the tour as E Now look at E E = + + = 1 E = + + = 1 So swap and E and the tour becomes E
