We study the r-interdiction median problem with fortification (RIMF), which considers demand points that are served by facilities. If a facility is interdicted, it can not serve any demand point, increasing the total system cost. To avoid an interdiction, a facility can be fortified. The problem consists of fortifying facilities knowing that some facilities will be interdicted. We propose a branch-and-cut algorithm for the RIMF and several experiments attest that our method outperforms the best exact algorithm found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
