Abstract

The Stochastic Eulerian Tour Problem was introduced in 2008 as a stochastic variant of the well-known Eulerian Tour Problem. In a follow-up paper the same authors investigated some heuristics for solving the Stochastic Eulerian Tour Problem. After a thorough study of these two publications a few issues emerged. In this short research commentary we would like to discuss these issues.
