Spectral characterization of graphs is an important topic in spectral graph theory, which has received a lot of attention from researchers in recent years. It is generally very hard to show a given graph to be determined by its spectrum.…
We study the metric $s$-$t$ path Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). [An, Kleinberg, and Shmoys, STOC 2012] improved on the long standing $\frac{5}{3}$-approximation factor and presented an algorithm that achieves an approximation factor of…
We study a new version of the Traveling Salesperson Problem, called \VectorTSP, where the traveler is subject to discrete acceleration constraints, as defined in the paper-and-pencil game Racetrack (also known as Vector Racer). In this…
We consider some generalizations of the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Path problem. Suppose we have an asymmetric metric G = (V,A) with two distinguished nodes s,t. We are also given a positive integer k. The goal is to find k paths of…
We define the average $k$-TSP distance $\mu_{tsp,k}$ of a graph $G$ as the average length of a shortest walk visiting $k$ vertices, i.e. the expected length of the solution for a random TSP instance with $k$ uniformly random chosen…
We present a trajectory optimization algorithm for the traveling salesman problem (TSP) in graphs of convex sets (GCS). Our framework uses an augmented graph of convex sets to encode the TSP specification and solve it exactly as a shortest…
We design a new LP-based algorithm for the graphic $s$-$t$ path Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), which achieves the best approximation factor of 1.5. The algorithm is based on the idea of narrow cuts due to An, Kleinberg, and Shmoys. It…
We consider a variation of the well-known traveling salesman problem in which there are multiple agents who all have to tour the whole set of nodes of the same graph, while obeying node- and edge-capacity constraints require that agents…

In the Many-visits Path TSP, we are given a set of $n$ cities along with their pairwise distances (or cost) $c(uv)$, and moreover each city $v$ comes with an associated positive integer request $r(v)$. The goal is to find a minimum-cost…
We consider a bi-criteria generalization of the pathwidth problem, where, for given integers $k,l$ and a graph $G$, we ask whether there exists a path decomposition $\cP$ of $G$ such that the width of $\cP$ is at most $k$ and the number of…

For the traveling salesman problem (TSP), the existing supervised learning based algorithms suffer seriously from the lack of generalization ability. To overcome this drawback, this paper tries to train (in supervised manner) a small-scale…

We investigate the minimum line-distortion and the minimum bandwidth problems on unweighted graphs and their relations with the minimum length of a Robertson-Seymour's path-decomposition. The length of a path-decomposition of a graph is the…

This note summarizes the state of what is known about the tractability of the problem ModPath, which asks if an input undirected graph contains a simple st-path whose length satisfies modulo constraints. We also consider the problem…
The problem of deciding if a Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) tour is minimal was proved to be coNP-complete by Papadimitriou and Steiglitz. We give an alternative proof based on a polynomial time reduction from 3SAT. Like the original…
The problem of finding multiple simple shortest paths in a weighted directed graph $G=(V,E)$ has many applications, and is considerably more difficult than the corresponding problem when cycles are allowed in the paths. Even for a single…
