Problem 2(10 points)
Consider the following network of 5 cities A, B, C, D, and E (see graph). Each city is
associated with a demand of a product indicated by the first number in the box
next to a city. For example, city A has a demand of 100 units of the product. An
edge between two cities indicate that it is possible to go from each city to the
other directly. For example, it is possible to go from city A to city B directly and
vice versa, but it is not possible to go from city A directly to city E. The number
next to an edge indicates the distance between the two cities at the endpoints of
the edge e.g. there is a distance of 14 between cities A and B.
The problem is to locate a warehouse at three cities. A warehouse can meet
(cover) the demand of the city it is located in as well as cover the demand of all
cities less than or equal to 15 units of distance from the city. For example, if a
warehouse is located at city A then the warehouse can cover the demand at cities
A,B, and C for a total coverage of 100+250+200=500 units of demand.
Formulate the problem of locating 3 warehouses so that demand coverage is
maximized as an integer program. Be sure to clearly define all variables.
