How to connect many short eulerian cycles into only a few longer ones?

Time:05-25

I want to connect eulerian cycles into longer ones without exceed a value.

So, I have this eulerian cycles and their length in a list. The maximal length of a cycle can be for example 500. The length of all cycles added up is 6176.778566350282. By connecting them cleverly together there could be probably only 13 or 14 cycles. But I don't really know how I could do that. I tried to just add one cycle to another but there I got 21 cycles out. The problem is that if you have a cycle of these numbers for example: [8, 21, 9, 22, 8, 23, 9, 24, 8] and you want to integrate this cycle [10, 11, 12, 10] it will not work because in the first cycle there is no edge of the number 10. I just started then a new cycle with this numbers [10, 11, 12, 10] and saved [8, 21, 9, 22, 8, 23, 9, 24, 8] as one of the 21 result cycles. But with this method I don't really get a good result. What would be a cleverer way to solve this problem?

This is an example how the list of the short eulerian cycles looks like:

I designed an elaborate branch-and-price scheme and then realized that it probably wouldn’t work well. Here’s a much simpler local search that achieves 14 cycles on your sample input.

from collections import defaultdict

# pip3 install networkx if necessary.

# The input consists of the variables maximum_length and cycles.
