摘要:The network design problem is a multicommodity minimal cost network flow problem with fixed costs on the arcs, i.e., a structured linear mixed-integer programming problem. It has various applications, such as construction of new links in transportation networks, topological design of computer communication networks, and planning of empty freight car transportation on railways. We present a Lagrangean heuristic within a branch-and-bound framework as a method for finding the exact optimal soluti...

摘要:Federal aviation regulations require that all aircraft undergo maintenance after flying a certain number of hours. To ensure high aircraft utilization, maintenance is done at night, and these regulations translate into requiring aircraft to overnight at a maintenance station every three to four days (depending on the fleet type), and to visit a balance-check station periodically. After the schedule is fleeted, the aircraft are routed to satisfy these maintenance requirements. We give fast and ...
