Solving the uncapacitated facility location problem with semi-Lagrangian relaxation

The semi-Lagrangian Relaxation (SLR) method has been introduced in Beltran et al. (2006) to solve the p-median problem. In this paper we apply the method to the Uncapacitated Facility Location (UFL) problem. We perform computational experiments on two main collections of UFL problems with unknown optimal values. On one collection, we manage to solve to … Read more
