Abstract

We propose a new procedure of facet composition for the Symmetric Traveling Salesman Polytope(STSP). Applying this procedure to the well-known comb inequalities, we obtain completely or partially known classes of inequalities like clique-tree, star, hyperstar, ladder inequalities for STSP. This provides a proof that a large subset of hyperstar inequalities which are until now only known to be valid, are indeed facets defining inequalities of STSP and this also generalizes ladder inequalities to a larger class. Finally, we describe some new facet defining inequalities obtained by applying the procedure.
