Approximation Algorithms for the Directed k-Tour and k-Stroll Problems
We consider two natural generalizations of the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman problem: the k-Stroll and the k-Tour problems. The input to the k-Stroll problem is a directed n-verte...

The 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...

Fast Ejection Chain Algorithms for Vehicle Routing with Time Windows
Abstract. This paper introduces a new algorithm, based on the concept of ejection chains, to effectively target vehicle routing problems with time window constraints (VRPTW). Ejec...

Approximating Maximum Weight Cycle Covers in Directed Graphs with Weights Zero and One
A cycle cover of a graph is a spanning subgraph each node of which is part of exactly one simple cycle. A k-cycle cover is a cycle cover where each cycle has length at least k. Gi...

First vs. best improvement: An empirical study
When applying the 2-opt heuristic to the travelling salesman problem, selecting the best improvement at each iteration gives worse results on average than selecting the first impr...
