Research results show that the reasonable solution for NP-complete problem could be achieved using DNA tile self-assembly model, in which the information is encoded in DNA tiles, which can be self-assembled via sticky-end associations. In this paper, we use the DNA self-assembly model to solve degree-constrained minimum spanning tree problem whose degree is 2. This model is mainly composed of two units: the nondeterministic search system and the adder system. In the nondeterministic search system, all the edges of a spanning tree are searched according to the adjacency matrix of the given graph. In the adder system, the weights of edges are added up, thus the optimal spanning tree which meets the constraint of degree will be gained by comparing the values of weights. Finally, we put forward a promotion for solving the well-known traveling salesman problem. Results shows that the solution is feasible with the operational time complexity of O(n). All of these demonstrate the feasibility of DNA tiles self-assembly for NP-complete problems.
