In the Euclidean TSP (see below), the distance between two cities is the Euclidean distance between the corresponding points. In the rectilinear TSP, the distance between two cities is the sum of the absolute values of the differences of their x- and y-coordinates. This metric is often called the Manhattan distance or city-block metric.
The Concorde TSP Solver is a program for solving the travelling salesman problem. It was written by David Applegate , Robert E. Bixby , Vašek Chvátal , and William J. Cook , in ANSI C , and is freely available for academic use.
Code written in VBA is compiled [6] to Microsoft P-Code (pseudo-code), a proprietary intermediate language, which the host applications (Access, Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint) store as a separate stream in COM Structured Storage files (e.g., .doc or .xls) independent of the document streams.
The Held–Karp algorithm, also called the Bellman–Held–Karp algorithm, is a dynamic programming algorithm proposed in 1962 independently by Bellman [1] and by Held and Karp [2] to solve the traveling salesman problem (TSP), in which the input is a distance matrix between a set of cities, and the goal is to find a minimum-length tour that visits each city exactly once before returning to ...
More generally, there are d! possible orders for a given array, one for each permutation of dimensions (with row-major and column-order just 2 special cases), although the lists of stride values are not necessarily permutations of each other, e.g., in the 2-by-3 example above, the strides are (3,1) for row-major and (1,2) for column-major.

A figure illustrating the vehicle routing problem. The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a combinatorial optimization and integer programming problem which asks "What is the optimal set of routes for a fleet of vehicles to traverse in order to deliver to a given set of customers?"
The number of possible solutions to the above instance is 12! × (5!) 6 × (6!) 4 × (7!) 2 / ((2!) 9 × (3!) 2) ≈ 5.3 × 10 35. The above solution contains 39 knife changes, and has been obtained by a heuristic; it is not known whether this is optimal. Transformations into the regular TSP, as described in [2] would involve a TSP with 5,520 ...
