We consider a single allocation hub-and-spoke network design problem which allocates each non-hub node to exactly one of given hub nodes so as to minimize the total transportation cost. This paper deals with a case in which the hubs are…
In this thesis, we design algorithms for several NP-hard problems in both worst and beyond worst case settings. In the first part of the thesis, we apply the traditional worst case methodology and design approximation algorithms for the Hub…
The multi allocation p-hub median problem (MApHM), the multi allocation uncapacitated hub location problem (MAuHLP) and the multi allocation p-hub location problem (MApHLP) are common hub location problems with several practical…
There has been significant success in designing highly efficient algorithms for distance and shortest-path queries in recent years; many of the state-of-the-art algorithms use the hub labeling framework. In this paper, we study the…
This paper discusses the fixed-hub single allocation problem (FHSAP). In this problem, a network consists of hub nodes and terminal nodes. Hubs are fixed and fully connected; each terminal node is connected to a single hub which routes all…
In the Multiple Allocation $k$-Hub Center (MA$k$HC), we are given a connected edge-weighted graph $G$, sets of clients $\mathcal{C}$ and hub locations $\mathcal{H}$, where ${V(G) = \mathcal{C} \cup \mathcal{H}}$, a set of demands…
Emerging reconfigurable optical communication technologies allow to enhance datacenter topologies with demand-aware links optimized towards traffic patterns. This paper studies the algorithmic problem of jointly optimizing topology and…
In this paper we improve the approximation ratio for the problem of scheduling packets on line networks with bounded buffers, where the aim is that of maximizing the throughput. Each node in the network has a local buffer of bounded size…
This work studies the effect of hub congestion and time-sensitive demand on a hub-and-spoke location/allocation system. The Hub Location with Congestion and Time-sensitive Demand Problem is introduced, which combines these two main…
In this paper, a non-linear p-robust hub location problem is extended to a risky environment where augmented chance constraint with a min-max regret form is employed to consider network risk as one of the objectives. The model considers…
Hub location problems are central to optimizing logistics, telecommunications, and transportation networks by consolidating flows through strategically placed hubs. While existing models assume symmetric allocation, where hubs handle…
We consider two-cost network design models in which edges of the input graph have an associated cost and length. We build upon recent advances in hop-constrained oblivious routing to obtain two sets of results. We address multicommodity…
Network design problems aim to compute low-cost structures such as routes, trees and subgraphs. Often, it is natural and desirable to require that these structures have small hop length or hop diameter. Unfortunately, optimization problems…
The Single Allocation Ordered Median Hub Location problem is a recent hub model introduced in Puerto et al. (2011) that provides a unifying analysis of a wide class of hub location mod- els. In this paper, we deal with the capacitated…
Hub Labeling (HL) is one of the state-of-the-art preprocessing-based techniques for route planning in road networks. It is a special incarnation of distance labeling, and it is well-studied in both theory and practice. The core concept of…
Given the dynamic nature of traffic, we investigate the variant of robust network design where we have to determine the capacity to reserve on each link so that each demand vector belonging to a polyhedral set can be routed. The objective…
Hub location problems have multiple applications in logistic systems, airways industry, supply chain network design, and telecommunication. In the hub location problem, a number of nodes should be selected as the hub nodes to act as the…
We propose a centralized transportation system that integrates public transit with ridesharing to provide multimodal transportation. At each time interval, the system receives a set of personal drivers, designated drivers, and public…
The $k$-center problem is a central optimization problem with numerous applications for machine learning, data mining, and communication networks. Despite extensive study in various scenarios, it surprisingly has not been thoroughly…
Motivated by emerging urban applications in commercial, public sector, and humanitarian logistics, we revisit continuous $p$-hub location problems in which several facilities must be located in a continuous space such that the expected…
