This paper presents the Tree of Hubs Location Problem. It is 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. The problem combines several aspects of...

We consider a discrete facility location problem where the difference between the maximum and minimum number of customers allocated to every plant has to be balanced. Two different Integer Programming formulations are built, and several families of valid inequalities for these formulations are...

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...

The objective of this paper is to identify the most promising sets of closest assignment constraints in the literature of Discrete Location Theory, helping the authors in the field to model their problems when clients must be assigned to the closest plant inside an Integer Programming...
