I've already seen the tag on the site but not . I think the least is to synonymize them. Similarly, we can do that for and .

Please add an answer below supporting which should be the master: , ?

P.S: Since at the time of posting this, there is still no conclusion on whether to include the word "problem" for classical problems as mentioned here, I left them out of my tag suggestions.

  • $\begingroup$ @mrBen I'm not too keen on bpp as it's not as widely-used, IMO, as the other abbreviations. However, you can create a new post and suggest that and let the community decide. $\endgroup$

I'd vote for being the master and being a synonym. Same for (master) and (synonym).

    $\begingroup$ traveling-salesman is also called salesperson, saleswoman, sales agent, etc. etc. So maybe just tsp? In the description it can shortly mention traveling salesperson.. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Personally I think [tsp] is too abbreviated, and non-intuitive to newcomers. Although the problem goes by other names, traveling salesman is by far the most common, and I think that makes the most sense as the tag. $\endgroup$
