The Euclidean traveling salesman problem involves a given set of n points in the plane, to find the shortest closed tour that connects all n points. The problem at hand is classified as NP-hard, indicating that finding a solution is expected to take more than polynomial time.
J. L. Bentley proposes that we streamline the problem by focusing solely on bitonic tours. These tours begin at the leftmost point, proceed exclusively in a rightward direction to the rightmost point, and then exclusively in a leftward direction back to the beginning point. In this scenario, it is feasible to develop an algorithm that can be executed in polynomial time.
Describe an O(n2)-time algorithm for determining an optimal bitonic tour. You may assume that no two points have the same x-coordinate and that all operations on real numbers take unit time.
Here, every tour should be simple path, which starts at a random vertex and terminates at the same vertex (say vertex 1). Every tour consists of an edge e(1,k) for some k ∈ V-{1} and a path from vertex k to vertex 1. The path from vetex k to vertex 1 goes through each vertex in V-{1,k}. Thus it is obvious that if the tour is optimal then the path from k to 1 is shortest.
Let g(i, S) be a length of a shortest path starting at vertex i, going through all the vertices in S and terminating at vertex 1. The g(1, V-{1}) is the optimal tour of a salesman.
From the principal of optimality it is represented as g(1, V-{1}) = min2<=k<=n {c1,k + g(1, V-{1,k})}
The model mentioned above can be generatized as g(i, S) = minj∈S {ci,j + g(j, S-{j})}
