Constant Factor Approximation for ATSP with Two Edge Weights - (Extended Abstract)

چکیده
We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem on shortest path metrics of directed graphs with two different edge weights. For the case of unit edge weights, the first constant factor approximation was given recently in [Sve15]. This was accomplished by introducing an easier problem called Local-Connectivity ATSP and showing that a good solution to this problem can be used to obtain a constant factor approximation for ATSP. In this paper, we solve Local-Connectivity ATSP for two different edge weights. The solution is based on a flow decomposition theorem for solutions of the Held-Karp relaxation, which may be of independent interest.

Deterministic Algorithms for Multi-criteria TSP
We present deterministic approximation algorithms for the multi-criteria traveling salesman problem (TSP). Our algorithms are faster and simpler than the existing randomized algorithms. First, we devise algorithms for the symmetric and asymmetric multicriteria Max-TSP that achieve ratios of 1/2k − ε and 1/(4k − 2) − ε, respectively, where k is the number of objective functions. For two objectiv...
متن کاملBetter Approximation Algorithms for Maximum Asymmetric Traveling Salesman and Shortest Superstring
In the maximum asymmetric traveling salesman problem (Max ATSP) we are given a complete directed graph with nonnegative weights on the edges and we wish to compute a traveling salesman tour of maximum weight. In this paper we give a fast combinatorial 3 4 -approximation algorithm for Max ATSP. It is based on a novel use of half-edges, matchings and a new method of edge coloring. (A half-edge of...
متن کاملMulti-Criteria Traveling Salesman Problems
In multi-criteria optimization problems, several objective functions have to be optimized. Since the different objective functions are usually in conflict with each other, one cannot consider only one particular solution as the optimal solution. Instead, the aim is to compute a so-called Pareto curve of solutions. Since Pareto curves cannot be computed efficiently in general, we have to be cont...

We present approximation algorithms for almost all variants of the multi-criteria traveling salesman problem (TSP). First, we devise randomized approximation algorithms for multi-criteria maximum traveling salesman problems (Max-TSP). For multi-criteria Max-STSP, where the edge weights have to be symmetric, we devise an algorithm with an approximation ratio of 2/3 − ε. For multi-criteria Max-AT...
