Hysteretic optimization for the traveling salesman problem

Hysteretic optimization is a recently proposed heuristic optimization method inspired by the demagnetization of magnetic materials by an alternating external field of decreasing amplitude. We demonstrate that its extension to general optimization problems works reasonably well for the traveling salesman problem. We propose an improvement for the general scheme.
