We analyze degeneracy characterizations for two classical problems: the transportation paradox in linear transportation problems and the pure constant fixed charge transportation problem. Solving the pure constant fixed charge problem is equivalent to finding a basic tree solution with maximum degree of degeneracy. Problems possess degenerate solutions if the equal subsum property is satisfied ...

In the present paper the step fixed charge transportation problem under uncertainty, particularly when variable and fixed cost are given in fuzzy forms, is formulated. In order to solve the problem, two metaheuristic, simulated annealing algorithm (SA) and variable neighbourhood search (VNS), are developed for this NP-hard problem. Due to the significant role of parameters and operators on the ...

In this paper, we study the fixed charge transportation problem with uncertain variables. The fixed charge transportation problem has two kinds of costs: direct cost and fixed charge. The direct cost is the cost associated with each source-destination pair, and the fixed charge occurs when the transportation activity takes place in the corresponding source-destination pair. The uncertain fixed ...

In this paper, a step fixed charge transportation problem is developed where the products are sent from the sources to the destinations in existence of both unit and step fixed-charges. The proposed model determines the amount of products in the existing routes with the aim of minimizing the total cost (sum of unit and step fixed-charges) to satisfy the demand of each customer. As the problem i...
