Spanning subgraphs defined via $K_4$ matchings
I have by accident found an interesting kind of spanner of complete symmetric graphs $G(V,E)$ with weighted edges.
What I actually had planned was to implement an algorithm for calculating certain non-...

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 ...
