Abstract
In the path version of the Travelling Salesman Problem (Path-TSP), a salesman is looking for the shortest Hamiltonian path through a set of n cities. The salesman has to start his journey at a given city s, visit every city exactly once, and finally end his trip at another given city t.
In this paper we show that a special case of the Path-TSP with a Demidenko distance matrix is solvable in polynomial time. Demidenko distance matrices fulfill a particular condition abstracted from the convex Euclidian special case by Demidenko (1979) as an extension of an earlier work of Kalmanson (1975). We identify a number of crucial combinatorial properties of the optimal solution and design a dynamic programming approach with time complexity O(n6).
