Geometric Approximation I

5.1. Back to complexity:
NP-completeness, PTAS, LTAS.
5.2. The Traveling Salesman's Problem (TSP):
hardness of approximation, metric TSP, Euclidean (planar) TSP.

-- TD:
curve reconstruction using Christofides' $ \frac{3}{2}$-approximation of metric TSP (code for perfect matching + eulerian tour provided?).
