This article comprises the first theoretical and computational study on mixed integer programming (MIP) models for the connected facility location problem (ConFL). ConFL combines...
A maximal independent set on a graph is an inclusion-maximal set of mutually non-adjacent nodes. This basic symmetry breaking structure is vital for many distributed algorithms, w...
