Approximation algorithms for the traveling salesman problem

open access: yes, 2002
We first prove that the minimum and maximum traveling salesman problems, their metric versions as well as some versions defined on parameterized triangle inequalities (called sharpened and relaxed metric traveling salesman) are all equi-approximable ...

Is Computing with Light All You Need? A Perspective on Codesign for Optical Artificial Intelligence and Scientific Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
This perspective article considers what computations optical computing can and should enable. Focusing upon free‐space optical computing, it argues that a codesign approach whereby materials, devices, architectures, and algorithms are simultaneously optimized is needed.

The traveling salesman problem, conformal invariance, and dense polymers

open access: yes, 2004
We propose that the statistics of the optimal tour in the planar random Euclidean traveling salesman problem is conformally invariant on large scales. This is exhibited in power-law behavior of the probabilities for the tour to zigzag repeatedly between ...

Trajectory Stability in the Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yesComplexity, 2018
Two generalizations of the traveling salesman problem in which sites change their position in time are presented. The way the rank of different trajectory lengths changes in time is studied using the rank diversity.

Optimizing Movement Sequences for Step-and-Scan Lithography Equipment

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2013
The purpose of this work is to improve the throughput of step-and-scan lithography equipment to shorten the production time of a wafer. For this purpose, we propose a method for solving the MSOP (Movement Sequence Optimization Problem), which is the ...

Automating Algorithm Experiments With ALGator: From Problem Modeling to Reproducible Results

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 26-41, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Theoretical algorithm analysis provides fundamental insights into algorithm complexity but relies on simplified and often outdated computational models. Experimental algorithmics complements this approach by evaluating the empirical performance of algorithm implementations on real data and modern computing platforms.

Approximating 1-dimensional TSP Requires Omega(n log n) Comparisons

open access: yes, 2013
We give a short proof that any comparison-based n^(1-epsilon)-approximation algorithm for the 1-dimensional Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) requires Omega(n log n) comparisons.Comment: Superseded by "On the complexity of approximating Euclidean ...

An Efficient Hybrid Ant Colony System for the Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem (GTSP) is an extension of the well-known Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), where the node set is partitioned into clusters, and the objective is to find the shortest cycle visiting each cluster exactly once.

Short Combinatorial Proof that the DFJ Polytope is contained in the MTZ Polytope for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yes, 2017
For the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (ATSP), it is known that the Dantzig-Fulkerson-Johnson (DFJ) polytope is contained in the Miller-Tucker-Zemlin (MTZ) polytope. The analytic proofs of this fact are quite long.
