Abstract

Arc routing problems arise in several areas of distribution management and have long been the object of study by mathematicians and operations researchers. In the first of a two-part survey, the Chinese postman problem ( CPP ) is considered. The main algorithmic results for the CPP are reviewed in five main sections: the undirected CPP , the directed CPP , the windy postman problem, the mixed CPP , and the hierarchical CPP .
