Title
Average-case approximation ratio of the 2-opt algorithm for the TSP
Abstract
We show that the 2-opt heuristic for the traveling salesman problem achieves an expected approximation ratio of roughly O(n) for instances with n nodes, where the edge weights are drawn uniformly and independently at random.
