Local Search Heuristics for Facility Location Problems
In this thesis, we develop approximation algorithms for facility location problems based on local search techniques. Facility location is an important problem in operations research. Heuristic approaches have been used to solve many variants of the problem since the 1960s. The study of approximation algorithms for facility location problems started with the work of Hochbaum. Although local sear...
متن کاملA fast swap-based local search procedure for location problems
We present a new implementation of a widely used swap-based local search procedure for the p-median problem, proposed in 1968 by Teitz and Bart. Our method produces the same output as the best alternatives described in the literature and, even though its worst-case complexity is similar, it can be significantly faster in practice: speedups of up to three orders of magnitude were observed. We al...
متن کاملLocal-Search based Approximation Algorithms for Mobile Facility Location Problems
We consider the mobile facility location (MFL) problem. We are given a set of facilities and clients located in a common metric space G = (V, c). The goal is to move each facility from its initial location to a destination (in V ) and assign each client to the destination of some facility so as to minimize the sum of the movement-costs of the facilities and the client-assignment costs. This abs...
متن کاملA novel local search method for microaggregation
In this paper, we propose an effective microaggregation algorithm to produce a more useful protected data for publishing. Microaggregation is mapped to a clustering problem with known minimum and maximum group size constraints. In this scheme, the goal is to cluster n records into groups of at least k and at most 2k_1 records, such that the sum of the within-group squ...
متن کاملA cross entropy algorithm for continuous covering location problem
Covering problem tries to locate the least number of facilities and each demand has at least one facility located within a specific distance.This paper considers a cross entropy algorithm for solving the mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) for covering location model.The model is solved to determine the best covering value.Also, this paper proposes aCross Entropy (CE) algorithm consider...
