tsp_lau, a FORTRAN90 code which implements a heuristic algorithm for solution of the traveling salesman problem, by Hang Tong Lau.
The "traveling salesman problem" is given a list of cities, and seeks the shortest round trip that visits each location exactly once. The obvious method of solution, to compute the length of every possible path, is not much worse than the best known method of solution, in terms of the amount of computing required to find the exact answer. However, there are heuristic methods that can find a "reasonable" approximation to the answer for most problems, in a much shorter amount of time.
