Integrality gaps for strengthened LP relaxations of Capacitated and Lower-Bounded Facility Location [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 The metric uncapacitated facility location problem (UFL) enjoys a special stature in approximation algorithms as a testbed for various techniques. Two generalizations of UFL are capacitated facility location (CFL) and lower-bounded facility location (LBFL). In the former, every facility has a capacity which is the maximum demand that can be assigned to
