In this paper, we present a new linear programming (LP) formulation of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). The proposed model has O(n^8) variables and O(n^7) constraints, where n is the number of cities. Our numerical experimentation…

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…

Let $k\geq 2$. We show that, for a sufficiently small $\varepsilon>0$, any sufficiently large $n$-vertex Hamiltonian graph of minimum degree at least $n^{1-\varepsilon}$ contains a $2$-factor consisting of exactly $k$ cycles. This is the…

We revisit the traveling salesman problem with neighborhoods (TSPN) and propose several new approximation algorithms. These constitute either first approximations (for hyperplanes, lines, and balls in $\mathbb{R}^d$, for $d\geq 3$) or…

We analyze the problem of discovering long cycles inside a graph. We propose and test two algorithms for this task. The first one is based on recent advances in statistical mechanics and relies on a message passing procedure. The second…

In an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices a tight Hamilton cycle consists of $n$ edges such that there exists a cyclic ordering of the vertices where the edges correspond to consecutive segments of $r$ vertices. We provide a first…

In this paper, we address the numerical solution of the Optimal Transport Problem on undirected weighted graphs, taking the shortest path distance as transport cost. The optimal solution is obtained from the long-time limit of the gradient…

A large number of NP-hard graph problems can be solved in $f(w)n^{O(1)}$ time and space when the input graph is provided together with a tree decomposition of width $w$, in many cases with a modest exponential dependence $f(w)$ on $w$.…

The semi-random graph process is a single player game in which the player is initially presented an empty graph on $n$ vertices. In each round, a vertex $u$ is presented to the player independently and uniformly at random. The player then…

We prove that every $3$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree $\delta_2(H) \geq 7n/9 + o(n)$ contains the square of a tight Hamilton cycle. This strengthens a theorem of Bedenknecht and Reiher that $\delta_2(H) \geq 4n/5 + o(n)$…

An oriented graph is a digraph that contains no 2-cycles, i.e., there is at most one arc between any two vertices. We show that every oriented graph $G$ of sufficiently large order $n$ with $\mathrm{deg}^+(x) +\mathrm{deg}^{-}(y)\geq…

We show that under certain conditions the square of the graph obtained by identifying a vertex in two graphs with hamiltonian square is also hamiltonian. Using this result, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for hamiltonicity of…

We consider the problem of finding a Hamiltonian path or cycle with precedence constraints in the form of a partial order on the vertex set. We study the complexity for graph width parameters for which the ordinary problems…

Asymmetric Travelling Salesman Problem (ATSP) and its special case Directed Hamiltonicity are among the most fundamental problems in computer science. The dynamic programming algorithm running in time $O^*(2^n)$ developed almost 60 years…

The moving target traveling salesman problem with obstacles (MT-TSP-O) seeks an obstacle-free trajectory for an agent that intercepts a given set of moving targets, each within specified time windows, and returns to the agent's starting…

We present an algorithm for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem on instances which satisfy the triangle inequality. Like several existing algorithms, it achieves approximation ratio O(log n). Unlike previous algorithms, it uses…

This paper presents sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian paths and cycles in graphs. Letting $\lambda\left( G\right) $ denote the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G,$ the main results of the paper are: (1) Let $k\geq1,$…

Given a complete edge-weighted graph G, we present a polynomial time algorithm to compute a degree-four-bounded spanning Eulerian subgraph of 2G that has at most 1.5 times the weight of an optimal TSP solution of G. Based on this algorithm…

We give unconditional parameterized complexity lower bounds on pure dynamic programming algorithms - as modeled by tropical circuits - for connectivity problems such as the Traveling Salesperson Problem. Our lower bounds are higher than the…

A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle which visits every vertex of the graph exactly once. In this paper, we consider the problem of Hamiltonicity of a graph $G_n$, which will be called the prime difference graph of order $n$, with…
