A maximum profit tour must be constructed on a subset of the facility vertices. Profit is computed through an attraction function: every visited facility vertex attracts a portion of the profit from the customer vertices based on the distance between the facility and customer vertices, and the attractiveness of the facility vertex. A gravity model is used for computing the profit attraction. The problem is formulated as an integer non-linear program. A linearization is proposed and strengthened through the introduction of valid inequalities, and a branch-and-cut algorithm is developed. A tabu search algorithm is also implemented. Computational results are reported.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessThe attractive traveling salesman problemArticle2031596900027207310000710.1016/j.ejor.2009.06.029Traveling Salesman ProblemDemand attractionDemand allocationLinearizationBranch-and-cutTabu search2-s2.0-70350567675
