Using POPMUSIC for Candidate Set Generation in the Lin-Kernighan-Helsgaun TSP Solver

Research output: Book/ReportReportResearch

Abstract

This report describes an enhancement of the Lin-Kernighan-Helsgaun TSP solver (LKH) for fast generation of candidate sets for very-large scale traveling salesman problems. Its implementation is based on a metaheuristic called POPMUSIC. The enhancement makes it possible to generate high-quality candidate sets in almost linear time, even for non-geometric instances.
