If weights were assigned to the edges of the graph shown in Exercise 1 of Section 10.2, the Traveling Salesman’s Problem would not have a solution. Why not?
Despite this observation, our salesman still has to complete the trip. Assigning weights as shown and assuming the salesman starts at A and does not wish to travel along the same edge more then once, find a most efficient route for the trip.
Suppose the salesman is willing to cover the same edge more than once, Is the route found in (b) still the most efficient?
Use the original form of Dijkstra’s algorithm to find the shortest paths from E to each of the other vertices in the above graph. Label all vertices.
