Abstract: Consider~(n) nodes~({X_i}_{1 leq i leq n}) independently distributed in the unit square~(S,) each according to a distribution~(f) and let~(K_n) be the complete graph formed by joining each pair of nodes by a straight line segment. For every edge~(e) in~(K_n) we associate a weight~(w(e)) that may depend on the emph{individual locations} of the endvertices of~(e) and is not necessarily a power of the Euclidean length of~(e.) Denoting~(TSP_n) to be the minimum weight of a spanning cycle of~(K_n) corresponding to the travelling salesman problem (TSP) and assuming an equivalence condition on the weight function~(w(.),) we prove that~(TSP_n) appropriately scaled and centred converges to zero a.s. and in mean as~(n ightarrow infty.) We also obtain upper and lower bound deviation estimates for~(TSP_n.)
