Traveling Salesperson Problem and the Held-Karp Dynamic Programming Algorithm

I start with a short introduction to the traveling salesperson problem (TSP) and briefly discuss the nearest-neighbor heuristic. The main part of the video then discusses the dynamic program by Held and Karp that solves the TSP in O(2^n n^2) time.
