// Solves the Shortest Hamiltonian Path Problem using a complete algorithm.
// The algorithm was first described in
// M. Held, R.M. Karp, A dynamic programming approach to sequencing problems,
// J. SIAM 10 (1962) 196-210
//
// The Shortest Hamiltonian Path Problem (SHPP) is similar to the Traveling
// Salesperson Problem (TSP).
// You have to visit all the cities, starting from a given one and you
// do not need to return to your starting point. With the TSP, you can start
// anywhere, but you have to return to your start location.
//
// By complete we mean that the algorithm guarantees to compute the optimal
// solution. The algorithm uses dynamic programming. Its time complexity is
// O(n^2 * 2^(n-1)), where n is the number of nodes to be visited, and '^'
// denotes exponentiation. Its space complexity is O(n * 2 ^ (n - 1)).
//
// Note that the naive implementation of the SHPP
// exploring all permutations without memorizing intermediate results would
// have a complexity of (n - 1)! (factorial of (n - 1) ), which is much higher
// than n^2 * 2^(n-1). To convince oneself of this, just use Stirling's
// formula: n! ~ sqrt(2 * pi * n)*( n / exp(1)) ^ n.
// Because of these complexity figures, the algorithm is not practical for
// problems with more than 20 nodes.
//
// Here is how the algorithm works:
// Let us denote the nodes to be visited by their indices 0 .. n - 1
// Let us pick 0 as the starting node.
// Let cost(i,j) denote the cost (or distance) to go from i to j.
// f(S, j), where S is a set of nodes and j is a node in S, is defined as the
// total cost of the shortest path from 0 to j going through all nodes of S.
//
// We can prove easily that it satisfy the following relation:
// f(S, j) = min (i in S \ {j},  f(S \ {j}, i) + cost(i, j))
//                                           (j is an element of S)
//
// Note that this formulation, from the original Held-Karp paper is a bit
// different, but equivalent to the one used in Caseau and Laburthe, Solving
// Small TSPs with Constraints, 1997, ICLP
// f(S, j) = min (i in S, f(S \ {i}, i) + cost(i, j))
//                                           (j is not an element of S)
//
// The advantage of the Held and Karp formulation is that it enables:
// - to build the dynamic programming lattice layer by layer starting from the
// subsets with cardinality 1, and increasing the cardinality.
// - to traverse the dynamic programming lattice using sequential memory
// accesses, making the algorithm cache-friendly, and faster, despite the large
// amount of computation needed to get the position when f(S, j) is stored.
// - TODO(user): implement pruning procedures on top of the Held-Karp algorithm.
//
// The set S can be represented by an integer where bit i corresponds to
// element i in the set. In the following S denotes the integer corresponding
// to set S.
//
// The dynamic programming iteration is implemented in the method Solve.
// The optimal value of the Hamiltonian path starting at 0 is given by
// min (i in S, f(2 ^ n - 1, i))
// The optimal value of the Traveling Salesman tour is given by f(2 ^ n, 0).
// (There is actually no need to duplicate the first node, as all the paths
// are computed from node 0.)
//
// To implement dynamic programming, we store the preceding results of
// computing f(S,j) in an array M[Offset(S,j)]. See the comments about
// LatticeMemoryManager::BaseOffset() to see how this is computed.
// This is really what brings the performance of the algorithm, because memory
// is accessed in sequential order, without risking to thrash the cache.
//
// Keywords: Traveling Salesman, Hamiltonian Path, Dynamic Programming,
//           Held, Karp.
