Paper added to session4 - A modification of discrete Raiffa’s solution for three-player bargaining

problemsMilan VlachSince Nash’s papers on bargaining and Raiffa’s studies on arbitration schemes in the beginningof 1950’s, it has become customary to present a cooperative bargaining problem as a nonemptycollection B of pairs (S, d) where each S is a nonempty subset of a finite-dimensional real linearspace endowed with the Euclidean metric, and d is a point in S. We propose an alternativestepwise solution for three-player problem that generalizes Raiffa’s solution. The solution isbased on the existence of a unique finite stable set in the individually rational region of (S, d).

Paper added to session4 - Multi-commodity reliable facility location problem: A scatter search based

approachSumanta Basu, Megha Sharma, Partha Sarathi Ghosh

Logistics and supply chain network design problems are often modelled as discrete facility lo-cation problems. A majority of these models assume that the facilities once located, will beavailable all the time. This assumption does not hold true in reality. We relax this assumptionin the context of the single stage multi-commodity capacitated facility location problem and in-corporate the non-availability of facilities. We develop a scatter search based solution approachfor this problem and compare the results obtained by using different criteria for selecting thefacilities.

Paper added to session3 - A Reduced-Cost Iterated Local Search Heuristic for the Fixed Charge Trans-

portation ProblemPaolo Toth, Erika Buson, Roberto RobertiThe Fixed Charge Transportation Problem (FCTP) generalizes the Transportation Problem byconsidering an additional fixed cost for sending a flow from an origin to a destination. Wedescribe an ILS heuristic based on reduced costs to guide the restart phase. The reduced costsare obtained by a lower bounding procedure that computes a sequence of increasing lowerbounds by solving a three-index formulation strengthened with valid inequalities. The heuristicprovided new best-known upper bounds on 123 of the 124 open benchmark instances from theliterature within five minutes of computing times.

Paper added to session1 - Extended formulations, column generation and stabilization: synergies in

the benefit of large scale applicationsFrancois Vanderbeck

Extended formulations entail working in an extended variable space which typically results in atighter formulation for mixed integer programs. The Dantzig—Wolfe decomposition paradigmand the resulting column generation reformulation is a special case where one expresses globalsolutions as a combination of solutions to identified subproblems. Extended formulationspresent the advantage of being amenable to a direct handling by a MIP solver and a rich vari-able space in which to express cuts or branching constraints; but their size blows rapidly toolarge for practical purposes. Column generation reformulation on the other hand requires abranch-and-price solver based on a specific oracle for the subproblems and efficient stabiliza-tion strategies to accelerate convergence. The combination of these two paradigms offers a trulypractical approach to well-structured applications, where formulation size is handled dynami-cally, stabilization is less of an issue thanks to natural recombinations of subproblem solutions,and inherent stage-by-stage approximation strategies provide primal heuristic solutions.Our presentation aims to review the pros of an extended formulation approach in combinationwith column generation and to highlight practical issues (such convergence and ways to addressit by stabilization). The performance of such approach shall be illustrated on academic modelsand realistic size industrial applications. Implementation can be seen as relatively straightfor-ward using generic tools such as our software platform, BaPCod.
