What is the proof that the branch and bound algorithm always finds optimal path in a graph?
I've been studying Branch and Bound's graph algorithm and I hear it always finds the optimal path because it uses previously found solutions to find others
However, I haven't been able to find a proof of why it finds the optimal path. (In fact, most…
