We consider the problems of computing $r$-approximate traveling salesman tours and $r$-approximate minimum spanning trees for a set of $n$ points in $\IR^d$, where $d \geq 1$ is a constant.
In the algebraic computation tree model, the complexities of both these problems are shown to be $\Theta(n \log n/r)$, for all $n$ and $r$ such that $r
