TSP的新的不可逼近界

New Inapproximability Bounds for TSP

Marek Karpinski, Michael Lampis, Richard Schmied

摘要:

本文研究了度量旅行商问题(TSP)的可逼近性,并证明了该问题新的显式不可逼近界。到目前为止已知的最好的近似边界的硬度是185/184对称的情况下(由于Lampis)和117/116不对称的情况下(由于Papadimitriou和Vempala)。我们在这里构造了两个新的有界发生CSP约简,分别将这些界提高到123/122和75/74。后一个界限是第一次改善,在十多年的情况下,不对称TSP。我们的主要工具之一,这可能是独立的利益,是一个新的建设有界度轮放大器用于证明我们的结果。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we study the approximability of the metric Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and prove new explicit inapproximability bounds for that problem. The best up to now known hardness of approximation bounds were 185/184 for the symmetric case (due to Lampis) and 117/116 for the asymmetric case (due to Papadimitriou and Vempala). We construct here two new bounded occurrence CSP reductions which improve these bounds to 123/122 and 75/74, respectively. The latter bound is the first improvement in more than a decade for the case of the asymmetric TSP. One of our main tools, which may be of independent interest, is a new construction of a bounded degree wheel amplifier used in the proof of our results.
