Given a matrix of costs, a path through the matrix is a sequence of cells in the matrix, such that the cell on the path in column k+1 is in the same or a neighboring row to the cell on the path in column k (where the first and last row wrap around). The unidirectional TSP is the problem of finding the least cost path from the first to the last column in the matrix.
