Integer programming formulations of discrete hub location problems
TL;DR: In this paper, integer programming formulations for four types of discrete hub location problems are presented: the p-hub median problem, the uncapacitated hub location problem, p -hub center problems and hub covering problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Twenty-Five Years of Hub Location Research
TL;DR: Insight into early motivations for analyzing hub location problems are provided and linkages to problems in location analysis and network design are described to suggest promising directions for future effort.

Hub Location Problems
TL;DR: This chapter overviews the key distinguishing features, assumptions and properties commonly considered in HLPs, and highlights the role location and network design decisions play in the formulation and solution of HLPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Tree of Hubs Location Problem
TL;DR: This paper presents the Tree of Hubs Location Problem, a network hub location problem with single assignment where a fixed number of hubs have to be located, with the particularity that it is required that the hubs are connected by means of a tree.
Journal ArticleDOI
A competitive hub location and pricing problem
TL;DR: This model confirms that, in competitive settings, seeking the largest market share is dominated by profit maximization, and solves instances derived from the CAB dataset using a genetic algorithm and a closed expression for the optimal pricing.

The Truck Dispatching Problem
George B. Dantzig,J. H. Ramser +1 more
TL;DR: A procedure based on a linear programming formulation is given for obtaining a near optimal solution to the optimum routing of a fleet of gasoline delivery trucks between a bulk terminal and a large number of service stations supplied by the terminal.

Optimum Locations of Switching Centers and the Absolute Centers and Medians of a Graph
TL;DR: It is shown that the optimum location of a switching center is always at a vertex of the communication network while the best location for the police station is not necessarily at an intersection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The maximal covering location problem
TL;DR: The use of a maximal service distance as a measure of the value of a given locational configuration has been discussed at length by Toregas and ReVelle 1 who show that it is an important surrogate measurement for the value.
