Help in Modeling travelling salesman problem.

I am having trouble modeling the last constraint for this TSP model. I have the first 3 constraints modeled properly but the last one I can't figure out how to model in GAMS. I attached my code and a screenshot of the constraints. Specifically the last one requires me to keep track of a subset in GAMS and I am confused about how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

Since there are exponentially many subtours (subsets of {2..n}) you would not do this explicitly. For small n you would use the compact MTZ formulation (see
https://www.gams.com/latest/gamslib_ml/ ... _tsp5.html). For larger instances you should
generate the subtour constraints that are needed using an iterative approach, see tsp1*tsp4 in the GAMS Model Library (
https://www.gams.com/latest/gamslib_ml/ ... _tsp1.html). For very large (and pure) TSP problems you would use a special purpose solver (not part of GAMS) like Concorde (
http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/tsp/concorde.html).

How would I do this the naive way? Like by running the model over and over again until I got a solution.
Thanks for the response!

Look at this post:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10428&p=24102. Here all subsets of a set are generated via the powerSetRight operator. That should help you doing it in the naive way.

The Mathematical Model of Traveling Salesman Problem with Alternative Pick up and Delivery nodes. The original single/multi automated guided vehicle (AGV) scheduling problem with a specific pick up and delivery node can be formulated and solved as single/multi traveling salesman problem (TSP/MTSP).
