Traveling Salesman Problems are in a class of very difficult mathematical problems called NP-Complete problems. The possible solutions scales at insanely high levels that go far beyond current ...

An Italian researcher with a penchant for retro games -- or perhaps just looking for an excuse to play games in the name of science! -- has used computational complexity theory to decide, once and for ...

Mathematical puzzles don't often get to star in feature films, but P vs NP is the subject of an upcoming thriller from Timothy Lanzone called "Travelling Salesman". The titles refers to the ...

The traveling salesman problem falls in that field, and it remains a puzzler. “It’s one of the most famous problems known as NP-Complete,” Palmer said from his office at the University of Montana.

The travelling salesman problem (TSP) remains one of the most challenging NP‐hard problems in combinatorial optimisation, with significant implications for logistics, network design and route planning ...

What would happen if one government learnt how to bypass the world's encryption systems? That's the all-too-timely question asked by Travelling Salesman, a movie that hands the starring role to a ...
