Some references are in pcb's src/toporouter.c :
* This is *EXPERIMENTAL* code.

* As the code is experimental, the algorithms and code
* are likely to change. Which means it isn't documented
* or optimized. If you would like to learn about Topological
* Autorouters, the following papers are good starting points:
