We consider the special case of the traveling salesman problem TSP in which the distance metric is the shortest-path metric of a planar unweighted graph. We present a polynomial...

This report describes an implementation of the Lin-Kernighan heuristic, one of the most successful methods for generating optimal or nearoptimal solutions for the symmetric travel...
In this paper, a variant of the Traveling Salesman Problem with Time Windows is considered, which consists in minimizing the sum of travel durations between a depot and several cu...
We present two polynomial-time approximation algorithms for the metric case of the maximum traveling salesman problem. One of them is for directed graphs and its approximation rat...
We discuss fast exponential time solutions for NP-complete problems. We survey known results and approaches, we provide pointers to the literature, and we discuss several open prob...
