This article deals with the uncapacitated multiple allocation p-hub median problem, where p facilities (hubs) must be located among n available sites in order to minimize the transportation cost of sending a product between all pairs of sites. Each path between an origin and a destination can...

In this paper, we propose an efficient technique for linearizing facility location problems with site-dependent failure probabilities, focusing on the unreliable p-median problem. Our approach is based on the use of a specialized flow network, which we refer to as a probability chain, to...
