On random symmetric travelling salesman problems [PDF]

open access: yesThe 43rd Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2002. Proceedings., 2003
Let the edges of the complete graph Kn be assigned independent uniform [0, 1] random edge weights. Let ZTSP and Z2FAC be the weights of the minimum length travelling salesman tour and minimum weight 2-factor, respectively. We show that whp |ZTSP − Z2FAC| = o(1).
