Abstract

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is one of the hardest optimization problems in NPO because it does not admit any polynomial time approximation algorithm (unless P = NP). On the other hand we have a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Euclidean TSP and the 2 3 -approximation algorithm of Christofides for TSP instances satisfying the triangle inequality. The main contributions of this paper are the following:
