-\brief Algorithms for the symmetric traveling salesman problem
-
-This group contains basic heuristic algorithms for the the symmetric
-\e traveling \e salesman \e problem (TSP).
-Given an \ref FullGraph "undirected full graph" with a cost map on its edges,
-the problem is to find a shortest possible tour that visits each node exactly
-once (i.e. the minimum cost Hamiltonian cycle).
-
-These TSP algorithms are intended to be used with a \e metric \e cost
-\e function, i.e. the edge costs should satisfy the triangle inequality.
-Otherwise the algorithms could yield worse results.
-
-LEMON provides five well-known heuristics for solving symmetric TSP:
- - \ref NearestNeighborTsp Neareast neighbor algorithm
- - \ref GreedyTsp Greedy algorithm
- - \ref InsertionTsp Insertion heuristic (with four selection methods)
- - \ref ChristofidesTsp Christofides algorithm
- - \ref Opt2Tsp 2-opt algorithm
-
-\ref NearestNeighborTsp, \ref GreedyTsp, and \ref InsertionTsp are the fastest
-solution methods. Furthermore, \ref InsertionTsp is usually quite effective.
-
-\ref ChristofidesTsp is somewhat slower, but it has the best guaranteed
-approximation factor: 3/2.
-
-\ref Opt2Tsp usually provides the best results in practice, but
-it is the slowest method. It can also be used to improve given tours,
-for example, the results of other algorithms.
