The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a central problem in combinatorial optimization. Several famous computationally hard tasks, such as graph matching, partitioning, and the...
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...
Abstract One method which has been used very successfully for finding optimal and provably good solutions for large instances of the Symmetric Travelling Salesman Problem (STSP) i...
We present an "adaptive multi-start" genetic algorithm for the Euclidean traveling salesman problem that uses a population of tours locally optimized by the Lin-Kernigha...

Abstract. We present randomized approximation algorithms for multicriteria Max-TSP. For Max-STSP with k > 1 objective functions, we obtain an approximation ratio of 1 k - for a...
