A Study on the Traveling Salesman Problem by Using Brute Force and Nearest Neighbor Algorithms

Description

There are several puzzles which can be analyzed by graph theoretic concepts. In this paper we select one of such puzzles, namely, Hamiltonian puzzle. Firstly, we discuss how the mathematicians' works upon Hamiltonian puzzle resulted in significant theoretical discoveries. Then we discuss how to solve the traveling salesman problem using brute force and nearest neighbor algorithms. Finally, the differences of these two algorithms are presented.
