Abstract

In the multiple Stacks Travelling Salesman Problem, STSP, one has to collect and then to deliver n commodities in two distinct cities, using a single container whose rows are subject to LIFO constraints. We prove that the STSP with 2 rows, tight capacity ⌈n/2⌉ and no depot vertex is differential 1/2−o(1)−approximable.
