Selected topics in column generation

ME Lübbecke, J Desrosiers - Operations research, 2005 - pubsonline.informs.org
Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and column generation, devised for linear programs, is a
success story in large-scale integer programming. We outline and relate the approaches …

Solution methods for the p‐median problem: An annotated bibliography

J Reese - NETWORKS: an international Journal, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
The p‐median problem is a network problem that was originally designed for, and has been
extensively applied to, facility location. In this bibliography, we summarize the literature on …

A Hybrid Heuristic for the p-Median Problem

MGC Resende, RF Werneck - Journal of heuristics, 2004 - Springer
Given n customers and a set F of m potential facilities, the p-median problem consists in
finding a subset of F with p facilities such that the cost of serving all customers is minimized …

Computational study of large-scale p-Median problems

P Avella, A Sassano, I Vasil'Ev - Mathematical Programming, 2007 - Springer
Given a directed graph G (V, A), the p-Median problem consists of determining p nodes (the
median nodes) minimizing the total distance from the other nodes of the graph. We present a …

Hybrid scatter search and path relinking for the capacitated p-median problem

JA Díaz, E Fernandez - European Journal of Operational Research, 2006 - Elsevier
In this paper we propose heuristic algorithms for the capacitated p-median problem. In the
first one solutions are obtained with Scatter Search whereas the second algorithm uses Path …

Parallelization of the scatter search for the p-median problem

F Garcıa-López, B Melián-Batista, JA Moreno-Pérez… - Parallel Computing, 2003 - Elsevier
This article develops several strategies for the parallelization of the metaheuristic called
scatter search, which is a population-based method that constructs solutions by combining …

A fast swap-based local search procedure for location problems

MGC Resende, RF Werneck - Annals of Operations Research, 2007 - Springer
We present a new implementation of a widely used swap-based local search procedure for
the p-median problem, proposed in 1968 by Teitz and Bart. Our method produces the same …

A branch-and-price approach to p-median location problems

ELF Senne, LAN Lorena, MA Pereira - Computers & operations research, 2005 - Elsevier
This paper describes a branch-and-price algorithm for the p-median location problem. The
objective is to locate p facilities (medians) such as the sum of the distances from each …

MGC Resende, RF Werneck - Journal of Heuristics, 2002 - researchgate.net
Given n customers and a set F of m potential facilities, the p-median problem consists in
finding a subset of F with p facilities such that the cost of serving all customers is minimized …

A column generation approach for the maximal covering location problem

MA Pereira, LAN Lorena… - … in Operational Research, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
This article presents a column generation algorithm to calculate new improved lower bounds
to the solution of maximal covering location problems formulated as ap‐median problem …
