Chapter 6, Problem 41E
Find the repetitive nearest-neighbor tour (and give its cost) for the furniture truck TSP discussed in Exercise 29 and 37 (see Fig. 6-39)
A truck must deliver furniture to stores located in five different cities A, B, C, D, and E. The truck must start and end its route at A. The time (in hours) for travel between the cities is given in Fig. 6-39. Find an optimal tour for this TSP and give its cost in hours. (Hint: The edge AD is part of an optimal tour.)
This exercise refers to the furniture truck TSP introduced in Exercise 29 (see Fig. 6-39).
a. Find the nearest-neighbor tour starting at A.
b. Find the nearest-neighbor tour starting at B, and give the answer using A as the starting/ending city.

- we will be looking at the travels of a fictional circus with just a single touring unit. This Atlanta-based circus plans to visit 24 cities, listed in the table below. After visiting all of the cities, the circus will return to Atlanta. The goal of the circus is to find a good tour of all the cities; that is, to find a path that visits each city and then returns to its starting point. Of course, some tours are shorter than others, and the optimal tour is the one which covers the least total distance.
