Abstract

We report the solution to optimality of a 532-city symmetric traveling salesman problem involving the optimization over 141,246 zero-one variables. The results of an earlier study by Crowder and Padberg [1] are cross-validated. In this note we briefly outline the methodology, algorithms and software system that we developed to obtain these results.
