Can neural networks efficiently solve the traveling salesmen problem?

Can neural networks efficiently solve the traveling salesmen problem? Are there any research papers that show that neural networks can solve the TSP efficiently? The TSP is an NP-hard problem, so I suspect that there are only approximate solutions…

Is there a crossover that also considers that every index in the vector also influences the fitness function?

Is there a crossover that also considers that every index in the vector also influences the cost function? I have two vectors $v_1=[A_1, A_2, A_3, A_4, A_5]$ and $v_2=[A_5, A_3, A_2, A_1, A_4]$. The fitness function considers the index where an…

How to train a policy model incrementally to solve a problem similar to the vehicle routing problem?

I have a problem similar to the vehicle routing problem (VRP) that I want to solve with reinforcement learning. In this problem, the agent starts from the point $(x_0, y_0)$, then it needs to travel through $N$ other points, $(x_1, y_1), \dots,…
