✦ Synopsis


Suppose p traveling salesmen must visit together all points/nodes of a tree, and the objective is to minimize the maximum of lengths of their tours. For location allocation problems (where both optimal home locations of the salesmen and their tours must be found), which are NP-complete, fast polynomial heuristics with worst-case relative error (pl)/(p + 1) are presented
