Abstract

Consider~nn nodes~{Xi}1in\{X_i\}_{1 \leq i \leq n} independently distributed in the unit square~S,S, each according to a distribution~ff and let~KnK_n be the complete graph formed by joining each pair of nodes by a straight line segment. For every edge~ee in~KnK_n we associate a weight~w(e)w(e) that may depend on the \emph{individual locations} of the endvertices of~ee and is not necessarily a power of the Euclidean length of~e.e. Denoting~TSPnTSP_n to be the minimum weight of a spanning cycle of~KnK_n corresponding to the travelling salesman problem (TSP) and assuming an equivalence condition on the weight function~w(.),w(.), we prove that~TSPnTSP_n appropriately scaled and centred converges to zero a.s.\ and in mean as~n.n \rightarrow \infty. We also obtain upper and lower bound deviation estimates for~TSPn.TSP_n.
