We present a very large-scale neighborhood (VLSN) search algorithm for the capacitated facility location problem with single-source constraints. The neighborhood structures are induced by customer multi-exchanges and by facility moves. We consider both traditional single-customer...

Plagued by high labor costs, low profitability margins, airspace and airport congestion, high capital and operating costs, security and safety concerns, and complex and large-scale management and operations decisions, the airline industry has armed its planners with sophisticated optimization...

A new concept is proposed for linking algebraic modeling languages with structure-exploiting solvers. SPI (Structure-Passing Interface) is a program that retrieves structure from an anonymous mathematical program built by an algebraic modeling language. SPI passes the special structure of the...

The emphasis in this article is to exploit the fact that precision requirements for solutions of most economic models in practice are moderate only. A simple approach is introduced for solving linearly constrained partial equilibrium models based on an iterative scheme similar to the simplex...
