Sorry it’s just a link, but it’s early in the morning and I don’t really know what to add to it,
except that the game uses the TSP problem for route optimization … so it’s EVE related.
Also we’re all mostly nerds in here, so it’s probably interesting.
If only it could help us to optimize 11 or more way points. Maybe in a few years after more research. 
Probably not, but who knows!
Too bad we can’t use Project Discovery to optimize our autopilot routes.
Autopilot takes so long that you’d think CCP has a cache of precomputed routes it could use by now but…
I wonder which 3rd party tools will implement this (or use the original, for that matter). jEveAssets lets you specify the algorithm used, for example - I wonder if they’ll toss this in? @Golden_Gnu 
Sorry to disappoint, but, I just use a slightly modified library.
I only have a shallow understanding of the actual algorithms.
Eve doesn’t try to solve the TSP, it just find the shortest routes between waypoints.
ESI have a route endpoint that replicate the logic used: https://esi.evetech.net/ui#/Routes/get_route_origin_destination
And it’s open source: https://github.com/esi/esi-routes if you want to look into how the algorithm works
No disappointment incurred! I’m quite fond of jEveAssets, so I appreciate the insight as to where you get your algorithms from
And thanks to you, now we know who to harass to improve the algorithms it uses
