We propose a new formulation for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem, with and without precedence relationships, which employs a polynomial number of subtour elimination constraints that imply an exponential subset of relaxed Dantzig–Fulkerson–Johnson subtour constraints. Promising computational results are presented, particularly in the presence of precedence constraints.
