An approximation algorithm for the TSP

Information Processing Letters, 1989
For a given complete weighted graph with n nodes, the authors present a heuristic algorithm with running time \(O(n^ 4)\) for the travelling salesman problem. Experimental studies show that the method gives better results in most cases than the well-known Quick method.

On Approximation Algorithms for # P

SIAM Journal on Computing, 1985
It is shown that any function in Valiant's class {\#}P can be approximated to within any constant factor by a function in the class \(\Delta^ P_ 3\) of the polynomial-time hierarchy. A model of random sampling is introduced and discussed in detail. The paper is of interest to specialists in the theory of algorithmic complexity.

The Design of Approximation Algorithms

2011
Discrete optimization problems are everywhere, from traditional operations research planning (scheduling, facility location and network design); to computer science databases; to advertising issues in viral marketing. Yet most such problems are NP-hard; unless P = NP, there are no efficient algorithms to find optimal solutions.

Approximate decision algorithms for approximate congruence

Information Processing Letters, 1992
We derive a \(({1\over 2} \varepsilon_{opt}(A,B), \varepsilon_{opt}(A,B))\)-approximate algorithm for approximate congruence by translations with running time \(O(n^{2.5})\) and a \(({1\over 2},\varepsilon_{opt}(A,B) \varepsilon_{opt}(A,B))\)- approximate algorithm with running time \(O(n^ 4)\) for the general case.
