Advanced Optimization Methods for the Knapsack, Traveling Salesman, and Close-Enough Traveling Salesman Problems: A Survey and Case Studies
Combinatorial optimization problems (COPs), including the Knapsack Problem (KP), the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), and regional variants such as the Close-Enough Traveling Salesman Problem (CETSP), constitute fundamental models for addressing complex decision-making tasks in modern computational systems. Their comp...
