Given a graph with arc costs, the Bottleneck Traveling Salesman Problem is to find a Hamiltonian circuit that minimizes the largest cost of any of its arcs. Lower bounds for the problem (bottleneck ...

This paper discusses a highly effective heuristic procedure for generating optimum and near-optimum solutions for the symmetric traveling-salesman problem. The procedure is based on a general approach ...
