A Statistical Approach to the TSP

This paper is an example of the growing interface between statistics and mathematical optimization. A very efficient heuristic algorithm for the combinatorially intractable TSP is presented, from which statistical estimates of the optimal tour length can be derived. Assumptions, along with computati...
