  • Classical TSP = Visit each vertex exactly once
  • Practical TSP = Visit each vertex at least once
  • To Find Initial Upper Bound = 2x weight of MST
  • To Find Better Upper Bounds = Add Shortcuts to the MST
  • To Find a Lower Bound = Weight of RMST + 2 shortest edges of removed vertex
  • To Find Upper Bound = Nearest Neighbour Algorithm (for di-graphs complete this vertically)
