The Miller–Tucker–Zemlin (MTZ) Subtour Elimination Constraints (SECs) and the improved version by Desrochers and Laporte (DL) have been and are still in regular use to model a variety of routing problems. This paper presents a systematic way of deriving inequalities that are more complicated...

In this article we investigate the job Sequencing and tool Switching Problem (SSP), a NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising from computer and manufacturing systems. Starting from the results described in Tang and Denardo (1987), Crama et al. (1994) and Laporte et al. (2004), we...

We consider a network design problem that generalizes the hop and diameter constrained Steiner tree problem as follows: Given an edge-weighted undirected graph with two disjoint subsets representing roots and terminals, find a minimum-weight subtree that spans all the roots and terminals so that...
