|---|
| 8 | ----------- |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | **TSP Solver and Generator** is intended to generate and solve |
|---|
| 11 | **Travelling Salesman Problem** (TSP) tasks. It uses *Branch and Bound* |
|---|
| 12 | method for solving. Its input is a number of cities and a matrix of |
|---|
| 13 | city-to-city travel costs. The matrix can be populated with random |
|---|
| 14 | values in a given range (which is useful for generating tasks). The |
|---|
| 15 | result is an optimal route, its price, step-by-step matrices of solving |
|---|
| 16 | and a solving graph. The task can be saved in an internal binary format |
|---|
| 17 | and opened later. The result can be printed or saved as *PDF*, *HTML*, |
|---|
| 18 | or *ODF*. |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | **TSPSG** may be useful for teachers to generate test tasks or just for |
|---|
| 21 | regular users to solve TSPs. Also, it may be used as an example of using |
|---|
| 22 | *Branch and Bound* method to solve a particular task. |
