Outline of Final Research Achievements

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is perhaps the most famous NP-hard problem, and has enhanced developments of many methods in the field of discrete optimization. In particular, TSP attracts recent intensive attention: several theoretical breakthrough papers have been published in this past decade.
Our research has intended to be applied in theoretical improvement in solving TSP. Specifically, our research has achieved deepening and extending of matching theory and matroid theory, which form bases of efficient solutions to discrete optimization problems. All of our 20 papers has been accepted to reputable, international, peer-reviewed journals or conferences, including top journals and conferences in the field of optimization.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究課題で発表した 20 篇の論文のうち,巡回セールスマン問題 (TSP) に特に関連する論文として,クラスター巡回セールスマン問題という TSP の一般化に対する近似率を改善したものや,TSP の緩和問題である制約付き 2-マッチング問題などの数多くの概念を含む,グラフ上の最適化問題の枠組を提案したものがある.
