报告摘要：
Given a set of cites along with the cost of travel between each pair of them, the traveling salesman problem, or TSP for short, is to find the cheapest way of visiting all the cites and returning to the starting point. It is well known that the TSP is NP-hard. However, if some order or a partial order of the cities to visit is given, polynomial-time solutions exist in most cases.
This talk gives a survey of recent work on the problems of touring a sequence of line segments, convex polygons in the plane and inside a polygonal region. The well-known watchman route problem, which asks for a shortest route along which a mobile robot can see a given polygon, can be also interpreted as a problem of touring a sequence of chords inside a polygon. Algorithmic techniques developed for the touring objects problems, including a data structure, called the last step shortest path maps, are investigated. An interesting result is that the traveling salesman problem for lines and rays in the plane can be solved in O(
) and O(
) time, respectively.
