Abstract
We present approximation algorithms for almost all variants of the multicriteria traveling salesman problem (TSP). First, we devise randomized approximation algorithms for multicriteria maximum traveling salesman problems (Max-TSP). For multicriteria Max-STSP where the edge weights have to be symmetric, we devise an algorithm with an approximation ratio of 2/3 - ε. For multicriteria Max-ATSP where the edge weights may be asymmetric, we present an algorithm with a ratio of 1/2 - ε. Our algorithms work for any fixed number k of objectives. Furthermore, we present a deterministic algorithm for bicriteria Max-STSP that achieves an approximation ratio of 7/27. Finally, we present a randomized approximation algorithm for the asymmetric multicriteria minimum TSP with triangle inequality (Min-ATSP). This algorithm achieves a ratio of log n + ε.
