关于1,2- TSP的子环LP的完整性间隙

On the Integrality Gap of the Subtour LP for the 1,2-TSP

Jiawei Qian, Frans Schalekamp, David P. Williamson, Anke van Zuylen

摘要:

本文研究了旅行商问题在所有边代价为1或2的特殊情况下,子环LP松弛的完整性间隙。对于对称成本服从三角不等式的一般情况,一个著名的猜想是完整性缺口为4/3。三十年来,解决这个猜想的进展甚微。我们推测当所有边的代价为$c_{ij}\in \{1,2\}$时,完整性间隙为$10/9$ .我们证明了当最优子环LP解具有一定的结构时,这一猜想成立。在一个较弱的假设下,这是一个模拟最近的猜想Schalekamp,Williamson和van Zuylen,我们证明了完整性差距最多是$7/6$。当我们不做任何假设的结构上的最佳子巡回LP解决方案,我们可以证明,完整性差距是最多$5/4$,这是第一个界限上的完整性差距的子巡回LP严格小于$4/3$已知的一个有趣的特殊情况下的TSP。我们计算表明,完整性差距是最多$10/9$的所有情况下,最多12个城市。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we study the integrality gap of the subtour LP relaxation for the traveling salesman problem in the special case when all edge costs are either 1 or 2. For the general case of symmetric costs that obey triangle inequality, a famous conjecture is that the integrality gap is 4/3. Little progress towards resolving this conjecture has been made in thirty years. We conjecture that when all edge costs $c_{ij}\in \{1,2\}$, the integrality gap is $10/9$. We show that this conjecture is true when the optimal subtour LP solution has a certain structure. Under a weaker assumption, which is an analog of a recent conjecture by Schalekamp, Williamson and van Zuylen, we show that the integrality gap is at most $7/6$. When we do not make any assumptions on the structure of the optimal subtour LP solution, we can show that integrality gap is at most $5/4$; this is the first bound on the integrality gap of the subtour LP strictly less than $4/3$ known for an interesting special case of the TSP. We show computationally that the integrality gap is at most $10/9$ for all instances with at most 12 cities.
