Abstract
We study exact algorithms for Metric TSP in . In the early 1990s, algorithms with running time were presented for the planar case, and some years later an algorithm with running time was presented for any . Despite significant interest in subexponential exact algorithms over the past decade, there has been no progress on Metric TSP, except for a lower bound stating that the problem admits no algorithm unless ETH fails. In this paper we settle the complexity of Metric TSP, up to constant factors in the exponent and under ETH, by giving an algorithm with running time .
