Modelling the Hop Constrained Connected Facility Location Problem on Layered Graphs

چکیده
Gouveia et al. [3] show how to model the Hop Constrained Minimum Spanning tree problem as Steiner tree problem on a layered graph. Following their ideas, we provide three possibilities to model the Hop Constrained (HC) Connected Facility Location problem (ConFL) as ConFL on layered graphs. We show that on all three layered graphs the respective LP relaxations of two cut based models are of the same quality. In our computational study we compare a compact hop-indexed tree model against the two cut based models on the simplest layered graph. We provide results for instances with up to 1300 nodes and 115000 arcs.

Layered Graph Approaches to the Hop Constrained Connected Facility Location Problem
Given a set of customers, a set of potential facility locations and some inter-connection nodes, the goal of the Connected Facility Location problem (ConFL) is to find the minimum-cost way of assigning each customer to exactly one open facility, and connecting the open facilities via a Steiner tree. The sum of costs needed for building the Steiner tree, facility opening costs and the assignment...

The Connected Facility Location (ConFL) problem combines facility location and Steiner trees: given a set of customers, a set of potential facility locations and some inter-connection nodes, ConFL searches for the minimum-cost way of assigning each customer to exactly one open facility, and connecting the open facilities via a Steiner tree. The costs needed for building the Steiner tree, facili...

Connected Facility Location (ConFL) is a problem that combines network design and facility location aspects: given a set of customers, a set of potential facility locations and some inter-connection nodes, ConFL searches for the minimum-cost way of assigning each customer to exactly one open facility, and connecting the open facilities via a Steiner tree.

We consider a generalized version of the rooted connected facility location problem which occurs in planning of telecommunication networks with both survivability and hop-length constraints. Given a set of client nodes, a set of potential facility nodes including one predetermined root facility, a set of optional Steiner nodes, and the set of the potential connections among these nodes, that ta...
متن کاملModeling hop-constrained and diameter-constrained minimum spanning tree problems as Steiner tree problems over layered graphs
The Hop-Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree Problem (HMSTP) is a NP-hard problem arising in the design of centralized telecommunication networks with quality of service constraints. We show that the HMSTP is equivalent to a Steiner Tree Problem (STP) in an adequate layered graph. We prove that the directed cut formulation for the STP defined in the layered graph, dominates (in terms of the linear...
