Abstract

The target visitation problem asks for a permutation (or tour) of target locations such that the difference between a reward expressing pairwise relative ordering preferences and the traveling distance is maximum. It can thus be seen as a combination of the traveling salesman problem and the linear ordering problem, or likewise as a generalization of the traveling salesman problem with precedences. In 2015, Hildenbrandt proposed according integer programming formulations along with polyhedral investigations. In this work, we extend and slightly revise some of these results, we highlight relations to betweenness and quadratic linear ordering problems, and we give some impressions about the computational performance obtained with the most promising integer programming models.
