A Probabilistic Analysis of Christofides' Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Christofides’ algorithm is a well known approximation algorithm for the metric travelling salesman problem. As a first step towards obtaining an average case analysis of Christofides’ algorithm, we provide a probabilistic analysis for the stochastic version of the algorithm for the Euclidean traveling salesman problem, where the input consists of n randomly chosen points in [0, 1]. Our main result provides bounds for the length of the computed tour that hold almost surely. We also provide an experimental evaluation of Christofides’s algorithm.

Today's with the increasing development of distributed energy resources, power system analysis has been entered a new level of attention. Since the majority of these types of energy resources are affected by environmental conditions, the uncertainty in the power system has been expanded; so probabilistic analysis has become more important. Among the various methods of probabilistic analysis, po...
متن کاملProbabilistic Power Distribution Planning Using Multi-Objective Harmony Search Algorithm
In this paper, power distribution planning (PDP) considering distributed generators (DGs) is investigated as a dynamic multi-objective optimization problem. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is applied to handle the uncertainty in electricity price and load demand. In the proposed model, investment and operation costs, losses and purchased power from the main grid are incorporated in the f...
