An Approximation Algorithm for the Curvature-Constrained Traveling Salesman Problem
We present an approximation algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem when the vehicle is constrained to move forward along paths with bounded curvature (Dubins’ vehicle). A deterministic algorithm returns in time O(n3) a tour within (( 1 + max { 8πρ Dmin , 14 3 }) log n ) of the optimum tour, where n is the number of points to visit, ρ is the minimum turning radius and Dmin is the minimum E...

We present an algorithm for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem on instances which satisfy the triangle inequality. Like several existing algorithms, it achieves approximation ratio O(log n). Unlike previous algorithms, it uses randomized rounding.
متن کاملThe Directed Minimum Latency Problem
We study the directed minimum latency problem: given an n-vertex asymmetric metric (V, d) with a root vertex r ∈ V , find a spanning path originating at r that minimizes the sum of latencies at all vertices (the latency of any vertex v ∈ V is the distance from r to v along the path). This problem has been well-studied on symmetric metrics, and the best known approximation guarantee is 3.59 [3]....
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem : Describing two recent methods
The paper provides a description of the two recent approximation algorithms for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem, giving the intuitive description of the works of Feige-Singh[1] and Asadpour et.al [2]. [1] improves the previous O(log n) approximation algorithm, by improving the constant from 0.84 to 0.66 and modifying the work of Kaplan et. al [3] and also shows an efficient reduction ...
