| Abstract: | In this paper the author investigates the relationship between traveling salesman tour lengths and submodular functions. This work is motivated by the one warehouse multi-retailer inventory/distribution problem with traveling salesman tour vehicle routing costs. Our goal is to find a submodular function whose values are close to those of optimal tour lengths through a central warehouse and a group of retailers. |
