Hamiltonicity and the 3-Opt procedure for the traveling Salesman problem

Gerard Sierksma (1994)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The 3-Opt procedure deals with interchanging three edges of a tour with three edges not on that tour. For n≥6, the 3-Interchange Graph is a graph on 1/2(n-1)! vertices, corresponding to the hamiltonian tours in K_n; two vertices are adjacent iff the corresponding hamiltonian tours differ in an interchange of 3 edges; i.e. the tours differ in a single 3-Opt step. It is shown that the 3-Interchange Graph is a hamiltonian subgraph of the Symmetric Traveling Salesman Polytope. Upper bounds are derived...

Hardness of embedding simplicial complexes in d

Jiří Matoušek, Martin Tancer, Uli Wagner (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 k d be the following algorithmic problem: Given a finite simplicial complex K of dimension at most k , does there exist a (piecewise linear) embedding of K into d ? Known results easily imply polynomiality of 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 k 2 ( k = 1 , 2 ; the case k = 1 , d = 2 is graph planarity) and of 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 k 2 k for all k 3 . We show that the celebrated result of Novikov on the algorithmic unsolvability of recognizing the 5-sphere implies that 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 d d and 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 ( d - 1 ) d are undecidable for each d 5 . Our main result is NP-hardness of 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 2 4 and, more generally, of 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳 k d for all k , d with...
