....lie on parallel lines. It is easily seen that minimizing the total distance covered by the laser is equivalent to solving a TSP (cf. Lin and Kernighan [73] Cutler [28] developed an O(n 3 ) time and O(n 2 ) space dynamic programming algorithm for the case with k = 3 parallel lines. Rote [103] generalized Cutler s result and derived an O(n k ) algorithm for an arbitrary but fixed number of k 4 lines. This algorithm strongly builds on Flood s result that the shortest tour does not intersect itself. Moreover, Rote observed that the lines need not be exactly parallel but might be ....
....does not contain fences as subsets and it is called long chord free, if it does not contain long chords. Observe that long chord freeness and fence freeness are monotone properties of sets of edges and carries over to subsets. A dynamic programming approach quite similar to that one used by Rote [103] yields the following result. 3 SOLVABLE CASES OF THE EUCLIDEAN TSP 18 Q Q Q ( Q Q B B B B B B , a a a H H H H H H H H H t t t t t t t t t t t t t t Convex hull and line TSP Q Q Q ( a a a t t t t t t t t t a a a a t Convex hull and k line ....

....holes in certain places of the board which usually lie on parallel lines. It is easily seen that minimizing the total distance covered by the laser is equivalent to solving a TSP (cf. Lin and Kernighan [7] Cutler [1] developed an O(n 3 ) algorithm for the case with k = 3 parallel lines. Rote [9] generalized Cutler s result and derived an O(n k ) algorithm for any fixed number of k 4 lines. Rote also observed that the lines need not be exactly parallel but might be slightly perturbated and slightly rotated without destroying polynomial solvability. Deineko, Van Dal and Rote [2] ....
....is a monotone property of sets of edges and carries over to subsets. 3 A Fast Algorithm In this section we design a fast dynamic programming algorithm for computing the shortest Lcf free tour for a given set P of cities. The algorithm extends (and in some sense simplifies) the ideas of Rote [9]. We start with some more definitions. Let L = 1 ; k ) be a k tuple of nonnegative integers with 0 i n i for 1 i k. By P (L) we denote the subset of P that consists of the i smallest cities of every class P i (with respect to the order OE) Moreover, for i 1 we denote by ....
