摘要
We consider the problem of locating, on a network, n new facilities that interact with m existing facilities. In addition, pairs of new facilities interact. This problem, the multimedian location problem on a network, is known to be NP-hard. We give a new integer programming formulation of this problem, and show that its linear programming relaxation provides a lower bound that is superior to the bound provided by a previously published formulation. We also report results of computational testing with both formulations.
