The Hamiltonian p-median Problem: Polyhedral Results and Branch-and-Cut Algorithm

In this paper we study the Hamiltonian \(p\)-median problem, in which a weighted graph on \(n\) vertices is to be partitioned into \(p\) simple cycles of minimum total weight. We introduce two new families of valid inequalities for a formulation of the problem in the space of natural edge variables. Each one of the families … Read more
