On \(\lambda \)-cent-dians and generalized-center for network design: formulations and algorithms
In this paper, we study the \(\lambda \)-centdian problem in the domain of network design. The focus is on designing a sub-network within a given underlying network while adhering to a budget constraint. This sub-network is intended to efficiently serve a collection of origin/destination demand pairs. We extend the work presented in Bucarey et al. (On \(\lambda \)-cent-dians and generalized-center for network design: definitions and properties, 2024), providing an algorithmic perspective on the generalized \(\lambda \)-centdian problem. In particular, we provide a mathematical formulation for \(\lambda \ge 0\) and discuss the bilevel structure of this problem for \(\lambda >1\). Furthermore, we describe a procedure to obtain a complete parametrization of the Pareto-optimality set based on solving two mixed integer linear formulations by introducing the concept of maximum \(\lambda \)-cent-dian. We evaluate the quality of the different solution concepts using some inequality measures. Finally, for \(\lambda \in [0,1]\), we study the implementation of a Benders decomposition method to solve it at scale.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of Operations Research publishes peer-reviewed original articles dealing with key aspects of operations research, including theory, practice, and computation. The journal publishes full-length research articles, short notes, expositions and surveys, reports on computational studies, and case studies that present new and innovative practical applications.
In addition to regular issues, the journal publishes periodic special volumes that focus on defined fields of operations research, ranging from the highly theoretical to the algorithmic and the applied. These volumes have one or more Guest Editors who are responsible for collecting the papers and overseeing the refereeing process.
