Improved Approximations for Cubic and Cubic Bipartite TSP

چکیده

We show improved approximation guarantees for the traveling salesman problem on cubic graphs, and cubic bipartite graphs. For cubic bipartite graphs with n nodes, we improve on recent results of Karp and Ravi (2014) by giving a simple “local improvement” algorithm that finds a tour of length at most 5/4n − 2. For 2-connected cubic graphs, we show that the techniques of Mömke and Svensson (2011) can be combined with the techniques of Correa, Larré and Soto (2012), to obtain a tour of length at most (4/3− 1/8754)n.

A 9/7 -Approximation Algorithm for Graphic TSP in Cubic Bipartite Graphs

We prove new results for approximating Graphic TSP. Specifically, we provide a polynomial-time 9 7 -approximation algorithm for cubic bipartite graphs and a ( 9 7 + 1 21(k−2) )-approximation algorithm for k-regular bipartite graphs, both of which are improved approximation factors compared to previous results. Our approach involves finding a cycle cover with relatively few cycles, which we are ...

Simple cubic graphs with no short traveling salesman tour

Let tsp(G) denote the length of a shortest travelling salesman tour in a graph G. We prove that for any ε > 0, there exists a simple 2-connected planar cubic graph G1 such that tsp(G1) ≥ (1.25 − ε) · |V (G1)|, a simple 2-connected bipartite cubic graph G2 such that tsp(G2) ≥ (1.2 − ε) · |V (G2)|, and a simple 3-connected cubic graph G3 such that tsp(G3) ≥ (1.125− ε) · |V (G3)|.
