Computational study of large-scale p-Median problems

Given a directed graph G(V,A), the p-Median problem consists of determining p nodes (the median nodes) minimizing the total distance from the other nodes of the graph. We present a Branch-and-Cut algorithm yielding provably good solutions for instances up to 3795 nodes (14,402,025 variables). Key ingredients of our approach are: lagrangian relaxation, a simple procedure to choose
