We present a branch-and-bound algorithm for solving the p-median problem. The bounds are obtained by solving the Lagrangian relaxation of the p-median problem using the subgradient optimization method ...

Since Balas and Zemel in the 1980s introduced the so-called core problem as an efficient tool for solving the Knapsack Problem, all the most successful algorithms have applied this concept. Balas and ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...
