We show that the travelling salesman problem in bounded-degree graphs can be solved in time O((2-ε)n) where ε > 0 depends only on the degree bound but not on the number of cities, n. The algorithm is a variant of the classical dynamic programming solution due to Bellman, and, independently, Held and Karp. In the case of bounded integer weights on the edges, we also present a polynomial-space algorithm with running time O((2-ε)n) on bounded-degree graphs. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
