The paper provides a description of the two recent approximation algorithms for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem, giving the intuitive description of the works of Feige-Singh[1] and Asadpour et.al\ [2].\newline [1] improves the previous $O(\log n)$ approximation algorithm, by improving the constant from 0.84 to 0.66 and modifying the work of Kaplan et. al\ [3] and also shows an efficient reduction from ATSPP to ATSP. Combining both the results, they finally establish an approximation ratio of $\left(\frac{4}{3}+ε\right)\log n$ for ATSPP,\ considering a small $ε>0$,\ improving the work of Chekuri and Pal.[4]\newline Asadpour et.al, in their seminal work\ [2], gives an $O\left(\frac{\log n}{\log \log n}\right)$ randomized algorithm for the ATSP, by symmetrizing and modifying the solution of the Held-Karp relaxation problem and then proving an exponential family distribution for probabilistically constructing a maximum entropy spanning tree from a spanning tree polytope and then finally defining the thin-ness property and transforming a thin spanning tree into an Eulerian walk.\ The optimization methods used in\ [2] are quite elegant and the approximation ratio could further be improved, by manipulating the thin-ness of the cuts.
