Abstract
Two known polynomial time approximation algorithms for the maximum traveling salesman problem (TSP) are combined to obtain a randomized algorithm which outputs a solution with expected value of at least r times the optimal one for any given r<25/33. Serdyukov's algorithm is first describe and then combine the polynomial time approximation. The results are then applied to obtain new approximation results for the maximum latency TSP.
