| contents | One way to speed up the calculation of optimal TSP tours in practice is eliminating edges that are certainly not in the optimal tour as a preprocessing step. In order to do so several edge elimination approaches have been proposed in the past. In this work we investigate two of them in the scenario where the input consists of $n$ independently distributed random points in the 2-dimensional unit square with bounded density function from above and below by arbitrary positive constants. We show that after the edge elimination procedure of Hougardy and Schroeder the expected number of remaining edges is $Θ(n)$, while after that the non-recursive part of Jonker and Volgenant the expected number of remaining edges is $Θ(n^2)$. |
