An Approximate Algorithm for TSP with Four Vertices and Three Lines Inequality
نویسنده
چکیده
If the distances of TSP satisfy the triangle inequality, the minimum-cost-spanning tree (MST) heuristics produces a tour whose length is guaranteed to be less than 2 times the optimum tour length and Christofides’ heuristics generates the 3/2 times the optimum tour length. Otherwise, the quality of the approximation is hard to evaluate. Here a four vertices and three lines inequality is used to construct an approximation of the optimum tour instead of the triangle inequality. The performance ratio of the heuristics may not be a constant for all kinds of TSP. But it is determined for a concrete TSP.

The Frequency Graph for the Traveling Salesman Problem
Traveling salesman problem (TSP) is hard to resolve when the number of cities and routes become large. The frequency graph is constructed to tackle the problem. A frequency graph maintains the topological relationships of the original weighted graph. The numbers on the edges are the frequencies of the edges emulated from the local optimal Hamiltonian paths. The simplest kind of local optimal Ha...
متن کاملThe hybrid genetic algorithm with two local optimization strategies for traveling salesman problem
Traveling salesman problem (TSP) is proven to be NP-complete in most cases. The genetic algorithm (GA) is improved with two local optimization strategies for it. The first local optimization strategy is the four vertices and three lines inequality, which is applied to the local Hamiltonian paths to generate the shorter Hamiltonian circuits (HC). After the HCs are adjusted with the inequality, t...
متن کاملAn Improved Approximation Algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem with Relaxed Triangle Inequality
Given a complete edge-weighted graph G, we present a polynomial time algorithm to compute a degree-four-bounded spanning Eulerian subgraph of 2G that has at most 1.5 times the weight of an optimal TSP solution of G. Based on this algorithm and a novel use of orientations in graphs, we obtain a (3β/4 + 3β/4)-approximation algorithm for TSP with β-relaxed triangle inequality (β-TSP), where β ≥ 1....
متن کاملDeterministic Algorithms for Multi-criteria TSP
We present deterministic approximation algorithms for the multi-criteria traveling salesman problem (TSP). Our algorithms are faster and simpler than the existing randomized algorithms. First, we devise algorithms for the symmetric and asymmetric multicriteria Max-TSP that achieve ratios of 1/2k − ε and 1/(4k − 2) − ε, respectively, where k is the number of objective functions. For two objectiv...
متن کاملSingle Approximation for Biobjective Max TSP
We mainly study Max TSP with two objective functions. We propose an algorithm which returns a single Hamiltonian cycle with performance guarantee on both objectives. The algorithm is analysed in three cases. When both (resp. at least one) objective function(s) fulfill(s) the triangle inequality, the approximation ratio is 5 12 − ε ≈ 0.41 (resp. 3 8 − ε). When the triangle inequality is not assu...
