An Effective Implementation of K-opt Moves for the Lin-Kernighan TSP Heuristic

Research output: Book/ReportReportResearch

Abstract

Local search with k-change neighborhoods, k-opt, is the most widely
used heuristic method for the traveling salesman problem (TSP). This
report presents an effective implementation of k-opt for the Lin-
Kernighan TSP heuristic. The effectiveness of the implementation is
demonstrated with extensive experiments on instances ranging from
10,000 to 10,000,000 cities.
