The Traveling Purchaser Problem (TPP) is a combinatorial optimization problem that is a variant of the well-known Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). In the TPP, the objective is to identify the most efficient route for a purchaser who needs to buy a set of items from different locations while minimizing the total cost. This cost includes not only the travel costs between locations but also the prices of the items being purchased.
