Title: | On solving complex multi-period location models using simulated annealing | Authors: | Antunes, António Peeters, Dominique |
Keywords: | Location; Capacity expansion; Simulated annealing | Issue Date: | 2001 | Citation: | European Journal of Operational Research. 130:1 (2001) 190-201 | Abstract: | This paper describes a study aimed at evaluating the capabilities of simulated annealing in dealing with complex, real-world multi-period location problems raised by school network planning in Portugal. The problems were formulated as mixed-integer linear optimization models. The models allow for facility closure or size reduction besides facility opening and size expansion, with sizes possibly limited to a set of pre-defined standards. They assume facility costs to be divided into a fix component and two variable components, respectively dependent on facility size and facility attendance. Results obtained through the study indicate that simulated annealing can be a useful tool for solving these kinds of models. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4036 | Rights: | openAccess |
