Abstract: We present a polynomial time approximation scheme for Euclidean TSP in fixed dimensions. For every fixed c > 1 and given any n nodes in # 2 , a randomized version of the scheme finds a (1 + 1/c)-approximation to the optimum traveling salesman tour in O(n(log n) O(c) ) time. When the nodes are in # d , the running time increases to O(n(log n) (O( # dc)) d-1 ). For every fixed c, d the running time is n poly(log n), i.e., nearly linear in n. The algorithm can be derandomized,... (Update)
