In this paper we study a facility location problem in the plane in which a single point (facility) and a rapid transit line (highway) are simultaneously located in order to minimize the total travel time from the clients to the facility, using the L1 or Manhattan metric. The rapid transit line...

In this paper we study a facility location problem in the plane in which a single point (median) and a rapid transit line (highway) are simultaneously located in order to minimize the total travel time of the clients to the facility, using the L1 or Manhattan metric. The highway is an...

Higher-dimensional orthogonal packing problems have a wide range of practical applications, including packing, cutting, and scheduling. In the context of a branch-and-bound framework for solving these packing problems to optimality, it is of crucial importance to have good and easy bounds for an...
