Branch-and-bound for the precedence constrained generalized traveling salesman problem
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2020

The Precedence Constrained Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem (PCGTSP) combines the Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem (GTSP) and the Sequential Ordering Problem (SOP). We present a novel branching technique for the GTSP which enables the extension of a powerful pruning technique. This is combined with some modifications of known bounding methods for related problems. The algorithm manages to solve problem instances with 12-26 groups within a minute, and instances with around 50 groups which are denser with precedence constraints within 24 hours.
