Abstract
The shortest path tour problem (SPTP) consists in finding a shortest path from a given origination node s to a given destination node d in a directed graph with nonnegative arc lengths with the constraint that the optimal path P should successively and sequentially pass through at least one node from given node subsets T1, T2, . . . , TN, where \({T_i \cap T_j = \emptyset, \forall\ i, j=1,\ldots,N,\ i \neq j}\). In this paper, it will proved that the SPTP belongs to the complexity class P and several alternative techniques will be presented to solve it.
