public class TspMetricMatchingAppx extends TspAbstract
TSP \(3/2\)-approximation using maximum matching.The running of this algorithm is \(O(n^3)\) and it achieve \(3/2\)-approximation to the optimal TSP solution.
This algorithm can only accept graphs and weight functions that satisfy the metric condition: every three vertices \(u,v,w\) should satisfy \(d((u,v)) + d((v,w)) \leq d((u,w))$ where \(d(\cdot)\) is the distance of the shortest path between two vertices. This condition is not validated for performance reason, but graphs that do not satisfy this condition will result in an undefined behaviour.
Based on 'Worst-Case Analysis of a New Heuristic for the Travelling Salesman Problem' by Nicos Christofides (1976).
