The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a classic optimization problem that asks for the shortest possible route that visits a given set of cities exactly once and returns to the starting city. For an instance with 8 cities, there are 5040 possible routes.
Conditions: The route must visit every city in the set exactly once.; The route must return to the starting city.; The goal is to minimize the total distance traveled.

The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a classical optimization problem that seeks the shortest possible path through a set of n cities, visiting each city exactly once. The video visualizes this as a route drawn over a fixed point set in a 2D plane.
Conditions: There is a finite set of n cities.; The objective is to minimize total path length.; Each city must be visited exactly once.

The temperature parameter in Simulated Annealing controls the probability of accepting worse solutions during the search. Initially, the temperature is high, allowing the algorithm to explore a wide range of solutions, including those that degrade the current route.
Conditions: The algorithm is in the early stages of the search.; The temperature is initially high.; The temperature decreases over time according to a cooling schedule.

The video points out that routes crossing over themselves (self-intersections) are a sign of a worse solution. This visual cue is paired with a longer final path length in the status bar.
Conditions: Applies to the interactive TSP visualization shown in the clip.; The context is comparing different algorithm runs or parameters.

In the genetic-algorithm TSP demo, greedy crossover uses a heuristic rule that tries to choose the nearest unvisited city as the next move. This approach is presented as a way to quickly obtain an effectively short route.
Conditions: Used inside the genetic-algorithm TSP implementation.; The crossover option is enabled (greedy crossover: true).; At each step, the next city is chosen by nearest-unvisited-city preference.

A 2-opt swap is a local search heuristic for the Traveling Salesman Problem. It involves removing two edges from the current tour and reconnecting the resulting paths in a different way to form a new tour.
Conditions: Applied to a valid TSP tour.; Involves exactly two edge removals and reconnections.
