Polyhedral Properties of the Uncapacitated Multiple Allocation Hub Location Problem
(2000)
- We examine the feasibility polyhedron of the uncapacitated hub location problem (UHL) with multiple allocation, which has applications in the fields of air passenger and cargo transportation, telecommunication and postal delivery services. In particular we determine the dimension and derive some classes of facets of this polyhedron. We develop some general rules about lifting facets from the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) for UHL and projecting facets from UHL to UFL. By applying these rules we get a new class of facets for UHL which dominates the inequalities in the original formulation. Thus we get a new formulation of UHL whose constraints are all facet defining. We show its superior computational performance by benchmarking it on a well known data set.

Some Complexity Results for k-Cardinality Minimum Cut Problems
(2000)
- Many polynomially solvable combinatorial optimization problems (COP) become NP when we require solutions to satisfy an additional cardinality constraint. This family of problems has been considered only recently. We study a newproblem of this family: the k-cardinality minimum cut problem. Given an undirected edge-weighted graph the k-cardinality minimum cut problem is to find a partition of the vertex set V in two sets V 1 , V 2 such that the number of the edges between V 1 and V 2 is exactly k and the sum of the weights of these edges is minimal. A variant of this problem is the k-cardinality minimum s-t cut problem where s and t are fixed vertices and we have the additional request that s belongs to V 1 and t belongs to V 2 . We also consider other variants where the number of edges of the cut is constrained to be either less or greater than k. For all these problems we show complexity results in the most significant graph classes.

Locating New Stops in a Railway Network
(2001)
- Given a railway network together with information on the population and their use of the railway infrastructure, we are considering the e ffects of introducing new train stops in the existing railway network. One e ffect concerns the accessibility of the railway infrastructure to the population, measured in how far people live from their nearest train stop. The second effect we study is the change in travel time for the railway customers that is induced by new train stops. Based on these two models, we introduce two combinatorial optimization problems and give NP-hardness results for them. We suggest an algorithmic approach for the model based on travel time and give first experimental results.

Standortplanung im Mathematikunterricht
(2001)
- Fragestellungen der Standortplanung sollen den Mathematikunterricht der Schule bereichern, dort behandelt und gelöst werden. In dieser Arbeit werden planare Standortprobleme vorgestellt, die im Mathematikunterricht behandelt werden können. Die Probleme Produktion von Halbleiterplatinen, Planung eines Feuerwehrhauses und das Zentrallagerproblem, die ausnahmlos real und nicht konstruiert sind, werden ausführlich durchgearbeitet, so dass es schnell möglich ist, daraus Unterrichtseinheiten zu entwickeln.

Stücklisten und lineare Algebra
(2001)
- Mit der vorliegenden Veröffentlichung soll der Versuch unternommen werden, mathematischen Schulstoff aus konkreten Problemen herzuentwickeln. Im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit stehen betriebswirtschaftliche Planungs- und Entscheidungsprobleme, wie sie von fast allen Wirtschaftsunternehmen zu lösen sind. Dabei wird im besonderen auf folgende Optimierungsprobleme eingegangen: Berechnung des Rohstoffbedarfs bei gegebenen Bestellungen, Aufarbeitung von vorhandenen Lagerbeständen und das Stücklistenproblem.

Lineare Optimierung im Mathematikunterricht
(2001)
- Lineare Optimierung ist ein wichtiges Aufgabengebiet der angewandten Mathematik, da sich viele praktische Probleme mittels dieser Technik modellieren und lösen lassen. Diese Veröffentlichung soll helfen, Schüler an diese Thematik heranzuführen. Dabei soll der Vorgang des Modellierens, also die Reduktion des Problems auf die wesentlichen Merkmale, vermittelt werden. Anschließend an den Modellierungsprozeß können durch Einsatz der Simplex-Methode die linearen Optimierungsprobleme gelöst werden. Verschiedene praktische Beispiele dienen der Veranschaulichung des Vorgehens.

Integrated Scheduling and Location Models: Single Machine Makespan Problems
(2002)
- Scheduling and location models are often used to tackle problems in production, logistics, and supply chain management. Instead of treating these models independent of each other, as is usually done in the literature, we consider in this paper an integrated model in which the locations of machines define release times for jobs. Polynomial solution algorithms are presented for single machine problems in which the scheduling part can be solved by the earliest release time rule.

Locational planning in the Mathematics Curriculum of High Schools
(2002)
- Dealing with problems from locational planning in schools can enrich the mathematical education. In this report we describe planar locational problems which can be used in mathematical lessons. The problems production of a semiconductor plate, design of a fire brigade building and the warehouse problem are from real-world. The problems are worked out detailed so that the usage for school lessons is possible.

Teoría de localización en las clases de matemáticas
(2002)
- La Teoría de localización abarca las posibilidades, para que con la ayuda de modelos matemáticos se busquen localizaciones teniendo en cuenta que los intereses económicos y administrativos sean óptimos. Así por ejemplo se encuentra la mejor localización para el almacén central de una empresa, cuando la suma de los gastos de transporte y de almacenaje sean mínimos y cuando se utilice el almacén óptimo. Si por otro lado, la administración busca la localización de una nueva estación de bomberos o de un hospital, hay que tener en cuenta un importante criterio para la localización óptima y es que la distancia mayor no sobrepase un valor dado.
