Shortest Path

Now the problem has become one of doing a single-source shortest path search, which terminates when a complete tour is reached.

We can't actually construct the entire graph, but we can generate it on an as-needed basis.

Dijkstra's algorithm will only visit as many partial tours as have weight less than or equal to tex2html_wrap_inline172 . But that's still pretty inefficient.
