Approaching $\frac{3}{2}$ for the $s$-$t$-path TSP
We show that there is a polynomial-time algorithm with approximation guarantee 3 2 + ε for the s-t-path TSP, for any fixed ε > 0. It is well known that Wolsey’s analysis of Christofides’ algorithm also works for the s-t-path TSP with its natural LP relaxation except for the narrow cuts (in which the LP solution has value less than two). A fixed optimum tour has either a single edge in a narrow ...
متن کاملAn LP-based 3/2-approximation algorithm for the graphic s-t path TSP
We design a new LP-based algorithm for the graphic s-t path Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), which achieves the best approximation factor of 1.5. The algorithm is based on the idea of narrow cuts due to An, Kleinberg, and Shmoys. It partly answers an open question of Sebő.

Definition The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is the following optimization problem. Given a complete graph G with edge costs, find a Hamiltonian cycle of minimum cost in G. Definition The metric traveling salesman problem (∆-TSP) is the TSP restricted to instances satisfying the triangle inequality Definition The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is the following optimization problem. Given a...

15 صفحه اولA practical algorithm for [r, s, t]-coloring of graph
Coloring graphs is one of important and frequently used topics in diverse sciences. In the majority of the articles, it is intended to find a proper bound for vertex coloring, edge coloring or total coloring in the graph. Although it is important to find a proper algorithm for graph coloring, it is hard and time-consuming too. In this paper, a new algorithm for vertex coloring, edge coloring an...
