TL;DR
This paper proves that the Unconstrained Traveling Tournament Problem (UTTP) is APX-complete by reducing from a known APX-hard problem, highlighting its computational difficulty for approximation.
Contribution
The paper establishes the APX-completeness of UTTP through an L-reduction from metric (1,2)-TSP, providing new insights into its computational complexity.
Findings
