Abstract

Abstract An enhancement of the Miller-Tucker-Zemlin (MTZ) model for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem is presented by introducing additional constraints to the initial formulation. The constraints account for ordering of boundary nodes as well as all successive nodes in the salesman tour. The enhanced MTZ subtour elimination constraints are computationally compared with the basic MTZ constraints and the version of MTZ lifted by Desrochers and Laporte. The proposed enhancement shows improved performance on a number of asymmetric TSPLIB instances.
