Update on the Probabilistic TSP Algorithm
Basically?
It failed. Miserably. If we rated the edges based on what I said below, it may have even given us the worst possible path (a great achievement if it were so!) and if we took the edge weights into account in the ratings, the algorithm pretty much spat out roughly what a greedy solution would have anyway. However, I am glad to have done it. It gave me a lot to think about with the Traveling Salesperson problem.
