We consider the special case of the traveling salesman problem TSP in which the distance metric is the shortest-path metric of a planar unweighted graph. We present a polynomial...

In the Euclidean TSP with neighborhoods (TSPN), we are given a collection of n regions (neighborhoods) and we seek a shortest tour that visits each region. In the path variant, we...
The interaction among variables of an optimization problem is known as epistasis, and its degree is an important measure for the nonlinearity of the problem. We address the proble...
We study integrality gaps and approximability of two closely related problems on directed graphs. Given a set V of n nodes in an underlying asymmetric metric and two specified nod...

We first present a method, called Two-Phase Pareto Local Search, to find a good approximation of the efficient set of the biobjective traveling salesman problem. In the first p...
