title = "The maximum traveling salesman problem under polyhedral norms",
abstract = "We consider the traveling salesman problem when the cities are points in Rd for some fixed d and distances are computed according to a polyhedral norm. We show that for any such norm, the problem of finding a tour of maximum length can be solved in polynomial time. If arithmetic operations are assumed to take unit time, our algorithms run in time O(n f-2 log n), where f is the number of facets of the polyhedron determining the polyhedral norm. Thus for example we have O(n 2 log n) algorithms for the cases of points in the plane under the Rectilinear and Sup norms. This is in contrast to the fact that finding a minimum length tour in each case is NP-hard.",
