$k$-Opt TSP Local Search is NOT exact when $k = \lceil |V|/2 \rceil$

I've been self-studying the book Algorithms by Papadimitriou, Dasgupta and Vazirani. I am having a hard time with a question about local search involving the traveling salesman problem (TSP). We'll sa …

$k$-Opt TSP Local Search is exact when $k = |V| - 1$

This follows from a result of Thomason, published in Section 2 of Thomason, A.G., Hamiltonian Cycles and Uniquely Edge Colourable Graphs, Ann. Discrete Math. 3, 259-268 (1978). … In particular, $4$-regular graphs have at least $4$ distinct Hamiltonian pairs. NOTE: In our particular case, $G$ is the union of two edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles. …

How to determine if a tree $T = (V, E)$ has a perfect matching in $O(|V| + |E|)$ time

This is a problem I've come across while studying on my own; it's from Algorithms by Papadimitriou, Dasgupta and Vazirani. Specifically, the problem statement is: Give a linear-time algorithm that ta …
