Integer programs for resource-constrained project scheduling problems are notoriously hard to solve due to their weak linear relaxations. Several papers have proposed reformulating project scheduling problems via Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition…
In the paper, we consider the competitive facility location problem with limited choice rule (CFLPLCR), which attempts to open a subset of facilities to maximize the net profit of a newcomer company, requiring customers to patronize only a…
Facility location decisions significantly impact customer behavior and consequently the resulting demand in a wide range of businesses. Furthermore, sequentially realized uncertain demand enforces strategically determining locations under…
This work attempts to combine the strengths of two major technologies that have matured over the last three decades: global mixed-integer nonlinear optimization and branch-and-price. We consider a class of generally nonconvex mixed-integer…
Dynamic facility location problems predominantly suppose a monopoly over the service or product provided. Nonetheless, this premise can be a severe oversimplification in the presence of market competitors, as customers may prefer facilities…
We consider a strategic decision-making problem where a logistics provider (LP) seeks to locate collection and delivery points (CDPs) with the objective to reduce total logistics costs. The customers maximize utility that depends on their…
In the Simple Plant Location Problem with Order (SPLPO), the aim is to open a subset of plants to assign every customer taking into account their preferences. Customers rank the plants in strict order and are assigned to their favorite open…
This paper introduces a new formulation and solution framework for hub location problems. The formulation is based on 2-index aggregated flow variables and incorporates a set of aggregated demand constraints, which are novel in hub…
In this paper, we address the Continuous Multifacility Monotone Ordered Median Problem. This problem minimizes a monotone ordered weighted median function of the distances between given demand points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and its closest…
We study the cyclic inventory routing problem that involves joint decisions on vehicle routing and inventory replenishment on an infinite, cyclic horizon. It considers a single warehouse and a set of geographically dispersed retailers. We…
Location Routing is a fundamental planning problem in logistics, in which strategic location decisions on the placement of facilities (depots, distribution centers, warehouses etc.) are taken based on accurate estimates of operational…
In this paper we propose an extension of the Uncapacitated Hub Location Problem where the potential positions of the hubs are not fixed in advance. Instead, they are allowed to belong to a region around an initial discrete set of nodes. We…
In this note, we consider the capacitated facility location problem when the transportation costs of the instance satisfy the Monge property. We show that a straightforward dynamic program finds the optimal solution when the demands are…
This article presents a matheuristic algorithm for the single-source capacitated facility location problem (SSCFLP) and its variants: SSCFLP with K facilities (SSCKFLP), SSCFLP with contiguous service areas (CFLSAP), and SSCFLP with K…
We study a general class of quadratic capacitated $p$-location problems facility location problems with single assignment where a non-separable, non-convex, quadratic term is introduced in the objective function to account for the…
The Capacitated Location Routing Problem is an important planning and routing problem in logistics, which generalizes the capacitated vehicle routing problem and the uncapacitated facility location problem. In this problem, we are given a…
We study a competitive facility location problem (CFLP), where two firms sequentially open new facilities within their budgets, in order to maximize their market shares of demand that follows a probabilistic choice model. This process is a…
We study the extended version of the non-uniform, capacitated facility location problem with multiple fulfilment channels between the facilities and clients, each with their own channel capacities and service cost. Though the problem has…
In this paper, we consider the multiple probabilistic covering location problem (MPCLP), which attempts to open a fixed number of facilities to maximize the total covered customer demand under a joint probabilistic coverage setting. We…
In many real-world optimization problems, more than one objective plays a role and input parameters are subject to uncertainty. In this paper, motivated by applications in disaster relief and public facility location, we model and solve a…
