Exact and Approximation Algorithms for Routing a Convoy Through a Graph

Authors: Martijn van Ee, Tim Oosterwijk, René Sitters, and Andreas Wiese

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 272, 48th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2023)

Abstract
We study routing problems of a convoy in a graph, generalizing the shortest path problem (SPP), the travelling salesperson problem (TSP), and the Chinese postman problem (CPP) which are all well-studied in the classical (non-convoy) setting. We assume that each edge in the graph has a length and a speed at which it can be traversed and that our convoy has a given length. While the convoy moves through the graph, parts of it can be located on different edges. For safety requirements, at all time the whole convoy needs to travel at the same speed which is dictated by the slowest edge on which currently a part of the convoy is located. For Convoy-SPP, we give a strongly polynomial time exact algorithm. For Convoy-TSP, we provide an O(log n)-approximation algorithm and an O(1)-approximation algorithm for trees. Both results carry over to Convoy-CPP which - maybe surprisingly - we prove to be NP-hard in the convoy setting. This contrasts the non-convoy setting in which the problem is polynomial time solvable.

The Traveling Salesman Problem under Squared Euclidean Distances

Authors: Fred van Nijnatten, René Sitters, Gerhard J. Woeginger, Alexander Wolff, and Mark de Berg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 5, 27th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (2010)

Abstract
Let $P$ be a set of points in $\Reals^d$, and let $\alpha \ge 1$ be a real number. We define the distance between two points $p,q\in P$ as $|pq|^{\alpha}$, where $|pq|$ denotes the standard Euclidean distance between $p$ and $q$. We denote the traveling salesman problem under this distance function by \tsp($d,\alpha$). We design a 5-approximation algorithm for \tsp(2,2) and generalize this result to obtain an approximation factor of $3^{\alpha-1}+\sqrt{6}^{\,\alpha}\!/3$ for $d=2$ and all $\alpha\ge2$. We also study the variant Rev-\tsp\ of the problem where the traveling salesman is allowed to revisit points. We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme for Rev-\tsp$(2,\alpha)$ with $\alpha\ge2$, and we show that Rev-\tsp$(d, \alpha)$ is \apx-hard if $d\ge3$ and $\alpha>1$. The \apx-hardness proof carries over to \tsp$(d, \alpha)$ for the same parameter ranges.
