On the Asymmetric Connected Facility Location Polytope
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the connected facility location problem, which has been intensively studied in the literature. The underlying polytopes, however, have not been investigated. This work is devoted to the polytope associated with the asymmetric version of the problem. We first lift known facets of the related Steiner arborescence and of the facility location polytope. Then we describe other new families of facet-inducing inequalities. Finally, computational results are reported.

The connected facility location polytope
We analyze the polytope associated with a combinatorial problem that combines the Steiner tree problem and the uncapacitated facility location problem. The problem, called connected facility location problem, is motivated by a real-world application in the design of a telecommunication network, and concerns with deciding the facilities to open, the assignment of customers to open facilities, an...
متن کاملSingle Facility Goal Location Problems with Symmetric and Asymmetric Penalty Functions
Location theory is an interstice field of optimization and operations research. In the classic location models, the goal is finding the location of one or more facilities such that some criteria such as transportation cost, the sum of distances passed by clients, total service time, and cost of servicing are minimized. The goal Weber location problem is a special case of location mode...
متن کاملOn the p-Median Polytope and the Intersection Property: Polyhedra and Algorithms
We study a prize-collecting version of the uncapacitated facility location problem and of the p-median problem. We say that the uncapacitated facility location polytope has the intersection property if adding the extra equation that fixes the number of opened facilities does not create any fractional extreme point. We characterize the graphs for which this polytope has the intersection property...
متن کاملOn the p-median polytope of Y-free graphs
In this paper we consider a well-known class of valid inequalities for the p-median and the uncapacitated facility location polytopes, the odd cycle inequalities. It is known that their separation problem is polynomially solvable. We give a new polynomial separation algorithm based on a reduction from the original graph. Then, we define a non-trivial class of graphs, where the odd cycle inequal...
