چکیده

We deal, from a theoretical point of view, with the asymmetric Hamiltonian p–median problem. This problem, which has many applications, can be viewed as a mixed routing location problem. An ILP-formulation based on a new class of inequalities (subtour number constraints) is presented. The associated Hamiltonian p–median polytope is examined, in particular its dimension and its affine hull. We determine which of the defining inequalities induce facets.

A polyhedral study of the Hamiltonian p-median problem

Given an edge-weighted graph G = (V, E), the Hamiltonian p-median problem (HpMP) asks for determining p cycles in G whose total length is minimized such that each node is contained in exactly one cycle. As the travelling salesman problem (TSP) corresponds to the choice p = 1, the HpMP can be interpreted as a generalization of the TSP. In this paper, we study the polytope associated with the HpM...

An iterative method for the Hermitian-generalized Hamiltonian solutions to the inverse problem AX=B with a submatrix constraint

In this paper, an iterative method is proposed for solving the matrix inverse problem $AX=B$ for Hermitian-generalized Hamiltonian matrices with a submatrix constraint. By this iterative method, for any initial matrix $A_0$, a solution $A^*$ can be obtained in finite iteration steps in the absence of roundoff errors, and the solution with least norm can be obtained by choosing a special kind of...

Finding the Shortest Hamiltonian Path for Iranian Cities Using Hybrid Simulated Annealing and Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms

  The traveling salesman problem is a well-known and important combinatorial optimization problem. The goal of this problem is to find the shortest Hamiltonian path that visits each city in a given list exactly once and then returns to the starting city. In this paper, for the first time, the shortest Hamiltonian path is achieved for 1071 Iranian cities. For solving this large-scale problem, tw...

A New Formulation of the Hamiltonian p Median Problem

Abstract Location-Routing problems involve locating a number of facilities among candidate sites and establishing delivery routes to a set of users in such a way that the total system cost is minimized. A special case of these problems is Hamiltonian p Median Problem (HpMP). In attempting to solve this problem, numerous mathematical formulations have been proposed. Most of them have in common t...

A Novel Hybrid Modified Binary Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for the Uncertain p-Median Location Problem

Here, we investigate the classical p-median location problem on a network in which the vertex weights and the distances between vertices are uncertain. We propose a programming model for the uncertain p-median location problem with tail value at risk objective. Then, we show that it is NP-hard. Therefore, a novel hybrid modified binary particle swarm optimization algorithm is presented to obtai...
