A semidefinite optimization-based approach for global optimization of multi-row facility layout
Hungerländer, Philipp; Anjos, Miguel F. - In: European Journal of Operational Research 245 (2015) 1, pp. 46-61
This paper is concerned with the Multi-Row Facility Layout Problem. Given a set of rectangular departments, a fixed number of rows, and weights for each pair of departments, the problem consists of finding an assignment of departments to rows and the positions of the departments in each row so...
