报告摘要:
There has been extensive research on approximating TSP walks in subcubic graphs. We show that if G is a 2-connected simple subcubic graph on n vertices with m vertices of degree 2, then G has a TSP walk of length at most 5n/4+m/4-1, establishing a conjecture of Dvořák, Kráľ, and Mohar. This upper bound is best possible. Our proof implies a quadratic-time algorithm for finding such a TSP walk, thereby giving a 5/4-approximation algorithm for the graphic TSP on simple cubic graphs and improving on the previously best-known approximation ratio of 9/7. This is joint work with Youngho Yoo and Michael Wigal.
