あらゆる都市間の一連の都市と距離を考えると、問題は、すべての都市を一度訪れて出発点に戻る可能性が最も短いツアーを見つけることです。
たとえば、右側の図に示されているグラフを検討してください。グラフのTSPツアーは0-1-3-2-0です。ツアーのコストは10+25+30+15で、80です。
以下のソリューションについて説明しました
1） 素朴で動的なプログラミング
2） MSTを使用した近似ソリューション
分岐および結合ソリューション
Treeの現在のノードのBranch and Bound Methodの以前の記事で見られるように、このノードを下ると得られる可能性のあるソリューションのバインドを計算します。可能な限り最良のソリューション自体にバインドされている場合、現在のベスト（これまでのところベスト計算）よりも悪い場合、ノードでルート化されたサブツリーを無視します。
ノードを介したコストには2つのコストが含まれていることに注意してください。
1）ルートからノードに到達するコスト（ノードに到達すると、このコストが計算されます）
2）現在のノードから葉への回答に到達するコスト（このコストでバウンドを計算して、このノードでサブツリーを無視するかどうかを決定します）。
- の場合 最大化の問題 指定されたノードに従うと、上限が最大のソリューションを示します。たとえばで 0/1ナップサック私たちは貪欲なアプローチを使用して上限を見つけました 。
- の場合 最小化の問題 下限は、指定されたノードに従う場合、最小限のソリューションを示します。たとえばで ジョブの割り当ての問題 最小コストの仕事を労働者に割り当てることにより、下限を取得します。
ブランチとバウンドでは、挑戦的な部分は、可能な限り最良のソリューションで境界を計算する方法を考えています。以下は、旅行セールスマンの問題の境界を計算するために使用されるアイデアです。
ツアーの費用は以下のように書くことができます。
Cost of a tour T = (1/2) * ? (Sum of cost of two edges adjacent to u and in the tour T) where u ? V For every vertex u if we consider two edges through it in T and sum their costs. The overall sum for all vertices would be twice of cost of tour T (We have considered every edge twice.) (Sum of two tour edges adjacent to u) >= (sum of minimum weight two edges adjacent to u) Cost of any tour >= 1/2) * ? (Sum of cost of two minimum weight edges adjacent to u) where u ? V
たとえば、上記のグラフを検討してください。以下は、すべてのノードに隣接する最小コスト2つのエッジです。
Node Least cost edges Total cost 0 (0 1) (0 2) 25 1 (0 1) (1 3) 35 2 (0 2) (2 3) 45 3 (0 3) (1 3) 45 Thus a lower bound on the cost of any tour = 1/2(25 + 35 + 45 + 45) = 75 Refer this for one more example.
これで、下限の計算についてのアイデアがあります。 State Space Search Treeを適用する方法を見てみましょう。考えられるすべてのノードの列挙を開始します（できれば辞書順に）
1。ルートノード： 一般性を失うことなく、下限が上記で計算された頂点「0」から始まると仮定します。
レベル2を扱う： 次のレベルでは、1 2 3 ... nです（グラフが完了していることに注意してください）。私たちは0から1に移動したので、頂点1を計算していると考えてください。ツアーにはエッジ0-1が含まれています。これにより、ルートの下限に必要な変更を加えることができます。
Lower Bound for vertex 1 = Old lower bound - ((minimum edge cost of 0 + minimum edge cost of 1) / 2) + (edge cost 0-1)
どのように機能しますか？エッジ0-1を含めるには、エッジコストが0-1のエッジコストを追加し、エッジ重量を減算して、下限が可能な限りタイトなままになります。
他のレベルを扱う： 次のレベルに進むと、可能なすべての頂点を再び列挙します。上記のケースについては、1後にさらに進む場合は、2 3 4 ... nをチェックします。
1から1に移動したので、2の下限を検討してください。エッジ1-2をツアーに含め、このノードの新しい下限を変更します。
Lower bound(2) = Old lower bound - ((second minimum edge cost of 1 + minimum edge cost of 2)/2) + edge cost 1-2)
注：式の唯一の変更は、最小エッジコストが以前のレベルですでに減算されているため、今回は1の2番目の最小エッジコストを含めたことです。

丸めはこのコードの行で行われています：
if (level==1) curr_bound -= ((firstMin(adj curr_path[level-1]) + firstMin(adj i))/2); else curr_bound -= ((secondMin(adj curr_path[level-1]) + firstMin(adj i))/2);
ブランチおよびバウンドTSPアルゴリズムでは、各頂点の最小エッジコストを追加してから2で割ることにより、最適ソリューションの総コストの下限を計算します。ただし、この下限は整数ではない場合があります。整数の下限を取得するには、丸めを使用できます。
上記のコードでは、Curr_bound変数は、最適なソリューションの総コストに関する電流の下限を保持します。レベルレベルの新しい頂点にアクセスすると、新しい頂点とその2つの最も近い近隣の最小エッジコストの合計を取ることにより、新しい下限new_boundを計算します。次に、new_boundを最も近い整数に丸めてCurr_bound変数を更新します。
レベルが1の場合、最寄りの整数まで締めくくります。これは、これまでに1つの頂点しか訪れておらず、最適なソリューションの総コストの推定において保守的になりたいからです。レベルが1を超える場合は、すでにいくつかの頂点にアクセスしているため、最適なソリューションの総コストをより正確に推定できるという事実を考慮した、より積極的な丸め戦略を使用します。
時間の複雑さ： 最悪のケースの複雑さは、最悪の場合はノードを剪定する機会を得ることができない可能性があるため、ブルートフォースの最悪の場合と同じままです。一方、実際には、TSPの異なるインスタンスに応じて非常にうまく機能します。複雑さは、剪定されるノードの数を決定するものであるため、境界関数の選択にも依存します。
