چکیده

We study a well-known linear programming relaxation of the p-median problem. We give a characterization of the directed graphs for which this system of inequalities defines an integral polytope. As a consequence, we obtain that the p-median problem is polynomial in that class of graphs. We also give an algorithm to recognize these graphs. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

مساله پوشش هاب تک تخصیصی بر روی شبکه ستاره‌ای؛ مدل‌بندی، خطی‌سازی و یافتن کران مناسب برای آن‌

The present study evaluates two problems of single allocation hub-covering problem with star structure including two problems of maximal p-hub covering and hub covering by considering the flow transfer costs. The star structure is as there is a central hub with definite location and other hubs are connected directly to the central hub. In the first problem, the goal is selection of p-hub locati...

ON THE p-MEDIAN POLYTOPE OF A SPECIAL CLASS OF 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 nontrivial class of graphs, where the odd cycle inequali...

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...
