چکیده
In this paper we describe properties of a particular transformation of the simple plant location problem into a vertex packing problem on a corresponding undirected graph. We characterize the undirected graphs that arise from simple plant location problems and we give a necessary and su cient condition for such graphs to be perfect. This allows us to nd a new family of polynomially solvable instances of the simple plant location problem. 3.

Investigating Zone Pricing in a Location-Routing Problem Using a Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm
In this paper, we assume a firm tries to determine the optimal price, vehicle route and location of the depot in each zone to maximise its profit. Therefore, in this paper zone pricing is studied which contributes to the literature of location-routing problems (LRP). Zone pricing is one of the most important pricing policies that are prevalently used by many companies. The proposed problem is v...
متن کاملDesigning a green location routing inventory problem considering transportation risks and time window: a case study
This study introduces a green location, routing and inventory problem with customer satisfaction, backup distribution centers and risk of routes in the form of a non-linear mixed integer programming model. In this regard, time window is considered to increase the customer satisfaction of the model and transportation risks is taken into account for the reliability of the system. In addition, dif...
متن کاملA Reliable Multi-objective p-hub Covering Location Problem Considering of Hubs Capabilities
In the facility location problem usually reducing total transferring cost and time are common objectives. Designing of a network with hub facilities can improve network efficiency. In this study a new model is presented for P-hub covering location problem. In the p-hub covering problem it is attempted to locate hubs and allocate customers to established hubs while allocated nodes to hubs are in...
متن کاملController Placement in Software Defined Network using Iterated Local Search
Software defined network is a new computer network architecture who separates controller and data layer in network devices such as switches and routers. By the emerge of software defined networks, a class of location problems, called controller placement problem, has attracted much more research attention. The task in the problem is to simultaneously find optimal number and location of controll...
متن کاملSolving single facility goal Weber location problem using stochastic optimization methods
Location theory is one of the most important topics in optimization and operations research. In location problems, the goal is to find the location of one or more facilities in a way such that some criteria such as transportation costs, customer traveling distance, total service time, and cost of servicing are optimized. In this paper, we investigate the goal Weber location problem in which the...
