This paper presents a new constructive approach based on simulated annealing for the large scope of scheduling problem can be assumed as traveling salesman problem (TSP). The main contribution of this research is developing a new definition of TSP. We solve the TSP when there are no roads between some cities. This leads us to incomplete graph constructed based on TSP. We demonstrate this realit...
