% MTSPOFS_GA Fixed Start Open Multiple Traveling Salesmen Problem (M-TSP) Genetic Algorithm (GA)
% Finds a (near) optimal solution to a variation of the "open" M-TSP by
% setting up a GA to search for the shortest route (least distance needed
% for each salesman to travel from the start location to unique individual
% cities without returning to the starting location)
%
% Summary:
% 1. Each salesman starts at the first point, but travels to a unique
% set of cities after that (and none of them close their loops by
% returning to their starting points)
% 2. Except for the first, each city is visited by exactly one salesman
%
% Note: The Fixed Start is taken to be the first XY point
%
% Input:
% XY (float) is an Nx2 matrix of city locations, where N is the number of cities
% DMAT (float) is an NxN matrix of city-to-city distances or costs
% SALESMEN (scalar integer) is the number of salesmen to visit the cities
% MIN_TOUR (scalar integer) is the minimum tour length for any of the
% salesmen, NOT including the start point
% POP_SIZE (scalar integer) is the size of the population (should be divisible by 8)
% NUM_ITER (scalar integer) is the number of desired iterations for the algorithm to run
% SHOW_PROG (scalar logical) shows the GA progress if true
% SHOW_RES (scalar logical) shows the GA results if true
%
% Output:
% OPT_RTE (integer array) is the best route found by the algorithm
% OPT_BRK (integer array) is the list of route break points (these specify the indices
% into the route used to obtain the individual salesman routes)
% MIN_DIST (scalar float) is the total distance traveled by the salesmen
%
% Route/Breakpoint Details:
% If there are 10 cities and 3 salesmen, a possible route/break
% combination might be: rte = [5 6 9 4 2 8 10 3 7], brks = [3 7]
% Taken together, these represent the solution [1 5 6 9][1 4 2 8][1 10 3 7],
% which designates the routes for the 3 salesmen as follows:
% . Salesman 1 travels from city 1 to 5 to 6 to 9
% . Salesman 2 travels from city 1 to 4 to 2 to 8
% . Salesman 3 travels from city 1 to 10 to 3 to 7
%
% 2D Example:
% n = 35;
% xy = 10*rand(n,2);
% salesmen = 5;
% min_tour = 3;
% pop_size = 80;
% num_iter = 5e3;
% a = meshgrid(1:n);
% dmat = reshape(sqrt(sum((xy(a,:)-xy(a',:)).^2,2)),n,n);
% [opt_rte,opt_brk,min_dist] = mtspofs_ga(xy,dmat,salesmen,min_tour, ...
% pop_size,num_iter,1,1);
