Matroid-Based TSP Rounding for Half-Integral Solutions
read the original abstract
We show how to round any half-integral solution to the subtour-elimination relaxation for the TSP, while losing a less-than-1.5 factor. Such a rounding algorithm was recently given by Karlin, Klein, and Oveis Gharan based on sampling from max-entropy distributions. We build on an approach of Haddadan and Newman to show how sampling from the matroid intersection polytope, and a new use of max-entropy sampling, can give better guarantees.

Thin Trees for Near Minimum Cuts
Every k-edge-connected graph has a polynomially constructible spanning tree that is O(1/k)-thin for all η-near-minimum cuts with η = 1/40.
