This paper aims at describing a metric problem of finding two minimum total weight edge-disjoint Hamiltonian circuits in a graph with two weight functions. The problem is NP-hard in strong sense if the weight functions w1 and w2 are different or equal. We construct two approximation 0(n3) algorithms whose worstcase performance guarantees asymptotically equal 12/5 (in case of the different functions), and 9/4 (when w1 and w2 are equal).
