Vertex cover via maximally unbalanced spanning trees
The vertex cover problem asks for a smallest subset $U\subseteq V$ that is adjacent to all edges of a symmetric graph $G(V,E)$.
Inspired by the observation that led to this question Perfectly balanced ...

Calculating vertex weights via mutually tangent circles of triangles
given a metric graph with positive edge weights $\left|e_{ij}\right|$ a standard task, especially in the context of the Traveling Salesman Problem, is to calculate $\max\sum\limits_{i=1}^n\omega_i:\ \...

Does LKH perform best with $\mathrm{1\unicode{x2013}trees}$
The LKH heuristic essentially generates sequence connected graphs with $n$ edges by means calculating minimum-weight spanning trees of $n-1$ of the vertices and connects the unspanned vertex to the ...

Complexity of heaviest 2-optimal vertex-disjoint cycle covers
Calculating lightest vertex-disjoint cycle covers of finite complete symmetric graphs with weighted edges can be done efficiently and also renders the edge set of the calculated cycles free of pairs ...

Generating Biconnected Graphs from Spanning Trees
Background of my question is an idea for generating an initial subtour for general symmetric TSPs:
Add to a MST a set of edges with minimal weight sum, that renders the resulting graph free of ...

What is known about iterated matching as a TSP heuristic
A fairly wellknown heuristic for TSP that is based on matching is described in the 2003 paper Match twice and stitch: a new TSP tour construction heuristic by Andrew B. Kahng and Sherief Reda.
Its ...
