Solving geometric TSP with ants
This paper presents an ant-based approach for solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Novel concepts of this algorithm that distinguish it from the other heuristics are the ...

Solving Small TSPs with Constraints
This paper presents a set of techniques that makes constraint programming a technique of choice for solving small (up to 30 nodes) traveling salesman problems. These techniques in...

Good triangulations yield good tours
Consider the following heuristic for planar Euclidean instances of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP): select a subset of the edges which induces a planar graph, and solve eithe...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
