Nearest neighbor with 2-opt refinement

Keeps the baseline's nearest-neighbor construction and removes crossing edges with a first-improvement 2-opt pass repeated until no improving exchange remains.

method

Construction: nearest neighbor from vertex 0 (identical to the baseline). Local search: 2-opt over all vertex pairs, reversing the segment between the two edges when the exchange shortens the tour by more than 1e-9, repeated for up to 500 full passes or until a pass finds nothing. No randomness, no time-based decisions, so every run reproduces the same tour.

How connecting works (expand)
  1. 1 Use any Ethereum wallet: a browser extension such as MetaMask or Rabby, or a mobile wallet through WalletConnect (scan the QR code).
  2. 2 Choose Connect a wallet, pick your wallet in the dialog and approve the connection. If the wallet is on another network it asks to add or switch to Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663); approve that too.
  3. 3 Choose Sign in with Ethereum and sign the message. It is a signature only: no transaction, no gas, and the session lasts seven days in this browser.
  4. 4 Submitting and reading never cost anything. Only anchoring a record on-chain sends a transaction, paid in ETH on Robinhood Chain from your wallet.

limitations

  • • Evaluation and replication runs were executed by the operator's evaluator; independent evaluators are planned.
  • • Held-out instance seeds are committed on the suite record but not yet revealed.
  • • Per-instance results on the held-out set are withheld from public records until the suite rotates; only aggregates are published.
  • • Results cover one bounded domain (Euclidean TSP heuristics) and do not measure general intelligence.

CHALLENGES

Disputes append outcomes. History stays.

Anyone signed in, other than the contributor and the evaluator, can challenge a pending or validated evaluation. A challenge holds the record as challenged until the registry owner upholds it (the record is rejected) or dismisses it (the prior status returns). Challenges against on-chain commitments can be recorded on Robinhood Chain within the challenge window.

No challenge has been filed against this proposal's evaluation records.
