Abstract
In this paper, we present a new approach of creating PTAS to the TSP problems
by defining a bounded-curvature surface embedded spaces. Using this definition
we prove: - A bounded-curvature surface embedded spaces TSP admits to a PTAS. -
Every bounded doubling dimension space can be embedded into a bounded-curvature
surface. - Every uniform metric space can be embedded into a bounded-curvature
surface.
Thus, the algorithm generalizes arXiv:1112.0699 (and therefore [7] and [8] as
well, w.r.t PTAS of TSP). But, the algorithm is much broader as uniform metric
spaces aren't bounded doubling dimension spaces. It should be mentioned that
our definition of a surface is derived from Riemannian geometry, but doesn't
match it exactly. therefore, our definitions and basic geometry algorithm is
given here in full.
