Sophia Wrede Peak cost is a novel objective for flows over time that describes the amount of workforce necessary to run a system. We focus on minimising peak costs in the context of maximum temporally repeated flows and formulate the corresponding MPC-MTRF problem. First, we discuss the limitations that emerge when restricting the solution space to integral … Read more
The single-source capacitated facility location problem with customer preferences (SSCFLPCP) is known to be strongly NP-hard. Computational tests imply that state-of-the-art solvers struggle with computing exact solutions. In this paper, we contribute two novel preprocessing methods which reduce the size of the considered integer programming formulation, and introduce sets of valid inequalities which decrease the … Read more
