摘要: We designed a simple computational exercise to compare weak and strong integer programming formulations of the traveling salesman problem. Using commercial IP software, short (60 line long) MATLAB code, students can optimally solve instances with up 70 cities in few minutes by adding cuts from stronger formulation weaker, but simpler one.
