We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...
This paper experimentally investigates the dynamical behavior of a search process in a local heuristic search system for a combinatorial optimization problem. Or-opt heuristic algo...
We consider traveling salesman problems (TSPs) with a permuted Monge matrix as cost matrix where the associated patching graph has a specially simple structure: a multistar, a mult...

Dividing the set of nodes into clusters in the well-known traveling salesman problem results in the generalized traveling salesman problem which seeking a tour with minimum cost p...

We introduce a new combinatorial optimization problem, which is a generalization of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and which we call Traveling Salesman Problem of Second Orde...
