Improved Inapproximability for TSP
Published 12 Jun 2012 in cs.CC | (1206.2497v1)
Abstract: The Traveling Salesman Problem is one of the most studied problems in computational complexity and its approximability has been a long standing open question. Currently, the best known inapproximability threshold known is 220/219 due to Papadimitriou and Vempala. Here, using an essentially different construction and also relying on the work of Berman and Karpinski on bounded occurrence CSPs, we give an alternative and simpler inapproximability proof which improves the bound to 185/184.
