چکیده

This work approaches the P-median problem with a partitioning around medoids methodology. This problem has been extensively studied because of the multiple applications and its NP-hard nature; therefore several are the efforts to find optimal solutions. In this paper we consider two case studies: 1) instances from OR-Library and 2) geographical objects from the metropolitan zone of Toluca, Mexico. The methods we use to work with these data are: Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM), Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS), Simulated Annealing (SA), P-Median with MATLAB (PML) and finally Tabu Search (TS).

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF CBO AND ECBO FOR LOCATION FINDING PROBLEMS

The p-median problem is one of the discrete optimization problem in location theory which aims to satisfy total demand with minimum cost. A high-level algorithmic approach can be specialized to solve optimization problem. In recent years, meta-heuristic methods have been applied to support the solution of Combinatorial Optimization Problems (COP). Collision Bodies Optimization algorithm (CBO) a...

Improved Adaptive Median Filter Algorithm for Removing Impulse Noise from Grayscale Images

Digital image is often degraded by many kinds of noise during the process of acquisition and transmission. To make subsequent processing more convenient, it is necessary to decrease the effect of noise. There are many kinds of noises in image, which mainly include salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. This paper focuses on median filters to remove the salt and pepper noise. After summarizin...

The p-median and p-center Problems on Bipartite Graphs

Let $G$ be a bipartite graph. In this paper we consider the two kind of location problems namely $p$-center and $p$-median problems on bipartite graphs. The $p$-center and $p$-median problems asks to find a subset of vertices of cardinality $p$, so that respectively the maximum and sum of the distances from this set to all other vertices in $G$ is minimized. For each case we present some proper...
