The Circlet Inequalities: A New, Circulant-Based Facet-Defining Inequality for the TSP
Samuel C. Gutekunst, David P. Williamson
Facet-defining inequalities of the symmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) polytope play a prominent role in both polyhedral TSP research and state-of-the-art TSP solvers. In th…
Mathematics of Nested Districts: The Case of Alaska
Sophia Caldera, Daryl DeFord, Moon Duchin +2
In eight states, a "nesting rule" requires that each state Senate district be exactly composed of two adjacent state House districts. In this paper we investigate the potential imp…
Subtour Elimination Constraints Imply a Matrix-Tree Theorem SDP Constraint for the TSP
Samuel C. Gutekunst, David P. Williamson
De Klerk, Pasechnik, and Sotirov give a semidefinite programming constraint for the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) based on the matrix-tree Theorem. This constraint says that the…
Semidefinite Programming Relaxations of the Traveling Salesman Problem and Their Integrality Gaps
Samuel C. Gutekunst, David P. Williamson
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is a fundamental problem in combinatorial optimization. Several semidefinite programming relaxations have been proposed recently that exploit a…
Root Cones and the Resonance Arrangement
Samuel C. Gutekunst, Karola Mészáros, T. Kyle Petersen
We study the connection between triangulations of a type root polytope and the resonance arrangement, a hyperplane arrangement that shows up in a surprising number of contexts.…
Characterizing the Integrality Gap of the Subtour LP for the Circulant Traveling Salesman Problem
Samuel C. Gutekunst, David P. Williamson
We consider the integrality gap of the subtour LP relaxation of the Traveling Salesman Problem restricted to circulant instances. De Klerk and Dobre conjectured that the value of t…
