The Railway Traveling Salesman Problem (RTSP) is a practical extension of the classical traveling salesman problem considering a railway network and train schedules. We are given ...
We study integrality gaps and approximability of two closely related problems on directed graphs. Given a set V of n nodes in an underlying asymmetric metric and two specified nod...
