12 Nov 2008 Minimum Distance loop between 'n' number of points This functions finds minimum distance loop between no.of points using the distance formula. Author: Rohit D'Errico, John This is a script that will clear your matlab workspace, crapping on anything that you might have been working on before. It generates its own set of points, so it does nothing for the user. There is no help, no error checking (since you supply nothing, no reason to check for errors. Also no reason to bother with this code in the first place by that logic. Looking at the code, it is a "greedy" algorithm, i.e., a simplistic algorithm that tries to solve the problem by a too simple method. This does not actually produce the minimum distance circuit around the set of points in general. In fact, it will almost certainly not produce the optimal solution for point sets of any size. The code itself is also simplistic, computing distances with a double loop, when no loop is necessary at all. Worse, if you insist on the use of loops here, why compute the distances twice, when the matrix must be symmetric? And finally, a construct like if i==j%||j
12 Nov 2008 Minimum Distance loop between 'n' number of points This functions finds minimum distance loop between no.of points using the distance formula. Author: Rohit Schwanghart, Wolfgang This is a script and not a function! Make it a function and let the user provide the coordinates of the points. Moreover, the code is not very well coded. You could avoid some of the nested loops by a simply involving bsxfun. You should also have a look at the Traveling Salesman algorithm http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/13680 which does what you probably want to do. I like that there are quite many comments in the code, which make it really easy to follow. Hence, I rate it a two.
