Chinese postman problem

Finding shortest walks through all graph edges

In graph theory, a branch of mathematics and computer science, Guan's route problem, the Chinese postman problem, postman tour or route inspection problem is to find a shortest closed path or circuit that visits every edge of an (connected) undirected graph at least once. When the graph has an Eulerian circuit, that circuit is an optimal solution. Otherwise, the optimization problem is to find the smallest number of graph edges to duplicate so that the resulting multigraph does have an Eulerian circuit. It can be solved in polynomial time, unlike the Travelling Salesman Problem which is NP-hard. It is different from the Travelling Salesman Problem in that the travelling salesman cannot repeat visited nodes.
