Abstract

The target visitation problem (TVP) is concerned with finding a route to visit a set of targets starting from and returning to some base. In addition to the distance traveled a tour is evaluated by taking also preferences into account which address the sequence in which the targets are visited. The problem thus is a combination of two well-known combinatorial optimization problems: the traveling salesman and the linear ordering problem. In this paper we point out some polyhedral properties and develop a branch-andcut algorithm for solving the TVP to optimality. Some computational results are presented.
