Given a set $P$ of $n$ points with their pairwise distances, the traveling salesman problem (TSP) asks for a shortest tour that visits each point exactly once. A TSP instance is rectilinear when the points lie in the plane and the distance…

Temporal dependencies between customer visits, such as synchronization constraints, pose a fundamental challenge in vehicle routing. These dependencies, which arise in applications such as home healthcare routing, aircraft scheduling, and…
We study the variant of the Euclidean Traveling Salesman problem where instead of a set of points, we are given a set of lines as input, and the goal is to find the shortest tour that visits each line. The best known upper and lower bounds…
The asymptotic behavior of the optimal TSP tour length is well known from the classical Beardwood--Halton--Hammersley theorem. We extend this result to the Traveling Salesman Problem with Drone (TSPD), a cooperative routing problem in which…
