New facets of the STS polytope generated from known facets of the ATS polytope
While it was known for a long time how to transform an asymmetric traveling salesman problem on the complete graph with n vertices into a symmetric traveling salesman problem on a...

A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...

Phase Transitions of the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman
We empirically study phase transitions of the asymmetric Traveling Salesman. Using random instances of up to 1,500 cities, we show that many properties of the problem, including t...

The Traveling Beams Optical Solutions for Bounded NP-Complete Problems
Architectures for optical processors designed to solve bounded instances of NP-Complete problems are suggested. One approach mimics the traveling salesman by traveling beams that ...
