This paper suggests traveling salesman problem algorithm that have been unsolved problem with NP-Hard. The proposed algorithm is a heuristic with edge-swap method. The classical method finds the initial solution starts with first node and visits to mostly adjacent nodes then decides the traveling path. This paper selects minimum weight edge for each nodes, then perform Min-Min method that start from minimum weight edge among the selected edges and Min-Max method that starts from maximum weight edges among it. Then we decide tie initial solution to minimum path length between Min-Min and Min-Max method. To get the final optimal solution, we apply previous two-opt to initial solution. Also, we suggest extended 3-opt and 4-opt additionally. For the 7 actual experimental data, this algorithm can be get the optimal solutions of state-of-the-art with fast and correct.

The degree-constrained minimum spanning tree (d-MST) problem is considered NP-complete for no exact solution-yielding polynomial algorithm has been proposed to. One thus has to resort to an heuristic approximate algorithm to obtain an optimal solution to this problem. This paper therefore presents a polynomial time algorithm which obtains an intial solution to the d-MST with the help of Kruskal's algorithm and performs k-opt on the initial solution obtained so as to derive the final optimal solution. When tested on 4 graphs, the algorithm has successfully obtained the optimal solutions.
