Description

Presents a small tutorial on branch and bounds, and shows an example on a small graph computing a traveling salesman tour.

Evaluation

Reasonably good example, though there is no branch-and-bounds tree, so it is hard to understand the relationship of the B&B process to solving the TS problem. NOTE: There are two other Branch and Bounds demonstrations at this site (one on knapsack problem), but those are hard to follow and would be Not Recommended.

HowToUse

For detailed instructions on how to install Animal and run Animal AVs, see: http://www.algoanim.info/Animal2/?q=node/290. Once you have installed the Animal .jar file and downloaded/unpacked the .zip file of Animal animations, you are now ready to run Animal. Run the .jar file to start Animal. Then go to the "Open" menu item, and browse to where you put the animal animations you got in the .zip file. Pick this AV from the list. You can then step through the animation, or use "kiosk mode" to have the steps fed to you at a constant pace.
