Adaptive dynamic cost updating procedure for solving fixed charge network flow problems

Abstract: We approximate the objective function of the fixed charge network flow problem (FCNF) by a piecewise linear one, and construct a concave piecewise linear network flow problem (CPLNF). A proper choice of parameters in the CPLNF problem guarantees the equivalence between those two problems. We propose a heuristic algorithm for solving the FCNF problem, which requires solving a sequence of CPLNF problems. The algorithm employs the dynamic cost updating procedure (DCUP) to find a solution to the CPLNF problems. Pr… Show more

“…Such arcs are called discrete arcs, and their cost structure makes the incurred cost a concave function of the flow amount f . We thus use the near-optimal concave min-cost flow algorithm of [10] in all our network flow computations.…”

“…Recently we have proposed a bilinear reduction technique, which can be used to find an approximate solution of concave piecewise linear and fixed charge network flow problems (see [27] and [28]). However, because of a different structure of the objective function, these methods cannot be directly applied to the CMDP problems.…”
