Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most typical combinatorial optimization problems which belong to a class of NP-hard. Each edge in an optimal tour tends to connect two cities locally. Thus, to reduce the solution-space of the TSP, the nearest neighbor method is used for constructing a short tour. On the other hand, to analyze the characteristics of real networks, many geographical complex network models are proposed recently. These networks have similar properties with optimal tours of the TSP: long-range edges are restricted and intersection of edges occurs rarely. In this report, we proposed a reduction method for the solution-space of the TSP using geographical threshold graph with near neighbor information. As a result, the proposed method can include all edges in the optimal tour with less edges than the conventional methods.
