spopt.locate.PCenter¶

class spopt.locate.PCenter(name: str, problem: LpProblem, aij: array)[source]¶

Implement the \(p\)-center optimization model and solve it. The \(p\)-center problem, as adapted from [Das13], can be formulated as:

\[\begin{split}\begin{array}{lllll} \displaystyle \textbf{Minimize} & \displaystyle W && & (1) \\ \displaystyle \textbf{Subject To} & \displaystyle \sum_{j \in J}{X_{ij} = 1} && \forall i \in I & (2) \\ & \displaystyle \sum_{j \in J}{Y_j} = p && & (3) \\ & X_{ij} \leq Y_{j} && \forall i \in I \quad \forall j \in J & (4) \\ & W \geq \displaystyle \sum_{j \in J}{d_{ij}X_{ij}} && \forall i \in I & (5) \\ & X_{ij} \in \{0, 1\} && \forall i \in I \quad \forall j \in J & (6) \\ & Y_j \in \{0, 1\} && \forall j \in J & (7) \\ & && & \\ \displaystyle \textbf{Where} && i & = & \textrm{index of demand points/areas/objects in set } I \\ && j & = & \textrm{index of potential facility sites in set } J \\ && p & = & \textrm{the number of facilities to be sited} \\ && d_{ij} & = & \textrm{shortest distance or travel time between locations } i \textrm{ and } j \\ && X_{ij} & = & \begin{cases} 1, \textrm{if client location } i \textrm{ is served by facility } j \\ 0, \textrm{otherwise} \\ \end{cases} \\ && Y_j & = & \begin{cases} 1, \textrm{if a facility is sited at location } j \\ 0, \textrm{otherwise} \\ \end{cases} \\ && W & = & \textrm{maximum distance between any demand site and its associated facility} \end{array}\end{split}\]
