Our paper "The Dantzig-Fulkerson-Johnson TSP formulation is easy to solve for few subtour constraints" with @austinlbuchanan.bsky.social is accepted at INFORMS Journal on Optimization! TL;DR: -Constant # SECs → polynomial time -Minimum # SECs needed to prove optimality can be computed Preprint👇

Great news today: our group will have two contributions at #ISCO2026! 🎉 1️⃣ A regular paper, where we study the complexity of falsifying heuristics 2️⃣ An extended abstract on the TSP integrality gap (4/3 for LP solutions with ≤ n+6 nonzeros). 👨‍🏫👨‍🏫 Don’t miss the talks of our amazing PhD students!

😍 Our paper "The Integrality Gap of the TSP is 4/3 if the LP Solution Has at Most n+6 Non-zero Components" has been accepted to #IPCO2026! We attack this problem using a novel and general approach that works even beyond the half-integral case! 📄 Our paper is available: arxiv.org/abs/2507.07003

✨ We show the integrality gap for the symmetric TSP is ≤ 4/3 when the LP solution has ≤ n+6 nonzeros. 💻 After a careful study of the TSP polytope, we reduce the problem to finitely many cases and analyze them one by one in a computer-aided proof fashion. 📄 Read more here: arxiv.org/abs/2507.07003

✨ Our paper "On the integrality gap of small Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problems" has been accepted in Discrete Optimization! 🎉 We proved new lower bounds on the integrality gap of ATSP on a given dimension. We also release small, hard-to-solve ATSP instances! Check out: lnkd.in/dVEWYGnD

The extended version of our #ICALP2025 paper is now online! We try to partially bridge this gap by showing that, given certain rules for node selection, branching and bounding branch-and-bound algorithms *are* polynomial time approximation schemes! 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2504.15885

I will soon be opening a call for a postdoctoral position in online learning and algorithmic game theory, starting in 2025, funded by my ERC at Bocconi University. If you're interested, feel free to reach out. If you're not personally interested but know someone who might be, please let them know!

The TSP formulation of Dantzig, Fulkerson, and Johnson works so well despite having exponentially many subtour elimination constraints (SEC). Why? Researchers have observed that only a handful of SECs are needed in practice. Can this be exploited?
