Abstract

This paper demonstrates the use of hidden network structure for the solution of set partitioning problems. By finding a hidden network row submatrix, the set partitioning problem is transformed to a network with side constraints. Flow conditions on the revealed pure network are then used in a procedure for effecting variable reduction for the set partitioning. By finding a hidden network column submatrix the set partitioning problem is transformed to a network with side columns. The resulting formulation is used in finding a feasible solution for the set partitioning problem quickly. Computational experience is included.KeywordsSet PartitioningInteger ProgrammingNetworksSubmatrixTransformation
