چکیده
Lagrangian relaxation is commonly used in combinatorial optimization to generate lower bounds for a minimization problem. We propose a modified Lagrangian relaxation which used in (linear) combinatorial optimization with equality constraints generates an optimal integer solution. We call this new concept semi-Lagrangian relaxation and illustrate its practical value by solving large-scale instances of the p-median problem.

Solving the p -Median Problem with a Semi-Lagrangian Relaxation
Lagrangian relaxation is commonly used in combinatorial optimization to generate lower bounds for a minimization problem. We study a modified Lagrangian relaxation which generates an optimal integer solution. We call it semi-Lagrangian relaxation and illustrate its practical value by solving large-scale instances of the p-median problem.
متن کاملCopositive Relaxation Beats Lagrangian Dual Bounds in Quadratically and Linearly Constrained Quadratic Optimization Problems
We study non-convex quadratic minimization problems under (possibly non-convex) quadratic and linear constraints, and characterize both Lagrangian and Semi-Lagrangian dual bounds in terms of conic optimization. While the Lagrangian dual is equivalent to the SDP relaxation (which has been known for quite a while, although the presented form, incorporating explicitly linear constraints, seems to ...
متن کاملSolving the uncapacitated facility location problem with semi-Lagrangian relaxation∗
The Semi-Lagrangian Relaxation (SLR) method has been introduced in [BTV06] to solve the p-median problem. In this paper we apply the method to the Uncapacitated Facility Location (UFL) problem. We perform computational experiments on two main collections of UFL problems with unknown optimal values. On one collection, we manage to solve to optimality 16 out of the 18 instances. On the second col...
متن کاملLagrangian Relaxation Method for the Step fixed-charge Transportation Problem
In this paper, a step fixed charge transportation problem is developed where the products are sent from the sources to the destinations in existence of both unit and step fixed-charges. The proposed model determines the amount of products in the existing routes with the aim of minimizing the total cost (sum of unit and step fixed-charges) to satisfy the demand of each customer. As the problem i...
متن کاملThe Lagrangian Relaxation Method for the Shortest Path Problem Considering Transportation Plans and Budgetary Constraint
In this paper, a constrained shortest path problem (CSP) in a network is investigated, in which some special plans for each link with corresponding pre-determined costs as well as reduction values in the link travel time are considered. The purpose is to find a path and selecting the best plans on its links, to improve the travel time as most as possible, while the costs of conducting plans do ...
