Question 1
(30 points) A formulation for the Biobjective Facility Location Problem is given below. This version mod-
ifies the facility location problem to consider two objectives, minimizing the cost of opening up facilities
and minimizing the total distance to the sites, at the same time. yj denotes if the facility j is opened or
not, xij denotes the assignment of site i to facility j.
min,z1=j=1mfjyj
min,z2=i=1nj=1mcijxij
subject toj=1mxij=1
i=1nxijMjyj
xijin{0,1}
yjin{0,1}
Consider a problem with 6 sites and 4 possible facility locations. Take capacity Mj as 3 for all facilities.
Define the other parameters as follows (you can ignore the units);
Apply the lon-constraint algorithm and find the set of all nondominated (or weakly nondominated) points.
Write and solve each model with a solver of your choice. Provide the mathematical models and write the
steps of the algorithm and your findings (the solution of the model and its image) in each iteration.
(Note: You need to attach the printouts of your models when you submit your homework. Also, providing
only printouts is not enough. You must clearly write results of each step in a report.)
Question 2
(20 points) For each nondominated point that you have found, discuss whether it would be possible to
find that point by solving a weighted sum method. Solve the problem using W.S. Algorithm (Perpendicular
Search). Write down nondominated set and weights for each step.
