Abstract

We propose two algorithms for the planar Euclidean traveling salesman problem. The first runs in O(k!kn) time and O(k) space, and the second runs in O(2^kk^2n) time and O(2^kkn) space, where n denotes the number of input points and k denotes the number of points interior to the convex hull.
