In the maximum dispersion problem, a given set of objects has to be partitioned into a number of groups. Each object has a non-negative weight and each group has a target weight, which may be different for each group. In addition to meeting the target weight of each group, all objects assigned...

This paper focuses on a multiperiod discrete facility location problem where transportation costs are considered together with location costs to design the operating facility pattern along a time horizon. The problem captures the difference in the scope of the location and routing decisions by...

This paper presents a combined Facility Location/Network Design Problem which simultaneously considers the location of facilities and the design of its underlying network so as to minimize the maximum customer-facility travel time. The model generalizes the classical p-center problem and has...

This paper presents a unified framework for the general network design problem which encompasses several classical problems involving combined location and network design decisions. In some of these problems the service demand relates users and facilities, whereas in other cases the service...

The importance of the historical information in flood analysis has previously been underlined. In this context, we present an integral methodology aimed at the establishment of return periods of different flood units on the unique basis of historical data. Specifically, the reconstruction of the...

In this work, we address the capacitated p-center problem (CpCP). We study two auxiliary problems, discuss their relation to CpCP, and analyze the lower bounds obtained with two different Lagrangean duals based on each of these auxiliary problems. We also compare two different strategies for...

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...

In this work we present an algorithm for solving the Prize-collecting Rural Postman Problem. This problem was recently defined and is a generalization of other arc routing problems like, for instance, the Rural Postman Problem. The main difference is that there are no required edges. Instead,...

El Modelo Trimestral del Banco de España (MTBE) constituye una herramienta fundamental para la elaboración de proyecciones a medio plazo de la economía española y para la cuantificación de los posibles efectos de distintas medidas de política económica o de perturbaciones de diversa...
