On Modification of an Asymptotically Optimal Algorithm for the Maximum Euclidean Traveling Salesman Problem

摘要

The known asymptotically optimal algorithm for the Euclidean maximum Traveling Salesman Problem by Serdukov builds approximate solution for the problem around the maximum-weight perfect matching. In this paper we are going to discuss an asymptotically optimal algorithm for the Euclidean maximum TSP with running-time O(n~3), that uses a maximum weight cycle cover of the initial graph as a foundation for constructing the TSP solution. We also prove a number of structural results for the optima of some maximization problems in normed spaces, which follow from the algorithm.
