The Bayside Art Gallery is considering installing a video camera security system to reduce its insurance premiums. A diagram of the eight display rooms that Bayside uses for exhibitions is shown in the figure below; the openings between the rooms are numbered 1 through 13.
A blueprint of a gallery with eight rooms, one entrance and thirteen doorways is shown. The gallery is laid out in a grid of three columns and four rows. Some rooms take up more than one row. The left-hand side contains rooms 1 and 2, the middle column rooms 3,4,5, and 6, and the right-hand side rooms 7 and 8. The following list contains each doorway and the rooms it connects.
Entrance: Room 1
Opening 1: Rooms 1 and 3
Opening 2: Rooms 3 and 7
Opening 3: Rooms 3 and 4
Opening 4: Rooms 1 and 4
Opening 5: Rooms 4 and 7
Opening 6: Rooms 1 and 2
Opening 7: Rooms 4 and 5
Opening 8: Rooms 2 and 5
Opening 9: Rooms 5 and 7
Opening 10: Rooms 5 and 6
Opening 11: Rooms 7 and 8
Opening 12: Rooms 2 and 6
Opening 13: Rooms 6 and 8
A security firm proposed that two-way cameras be installed at some room openings. Each camera has the ability to monitor the two rooms between which the camera is located. For example, if a camera were located at opening number 4, rooms 1 and 4 would be covered; if a camera were located at opening 11, rooms 7 and 8 would be covered; and so on. Management decided not to locate a camera system at the entrance to the display rooms. The objective is to provide security coverage for all eight rooms using the minimum number of two-way cameras.
(a)
Formulate a 0-1 integer linear programming model that will enable Bayside's management to determine the locations for the camera systems. (Let xi be the 0-1 which is 1 if a camera is installed at opening i, and 0 otherwise, for i =1,2,...,13.)
