✦ Synopsis

This paper reports a new formulation of a general hub location model as a quadratic integer program. Non-convexity of the objective function makes the problem difficult. A variety of alternative solution strategies are discussed. Computational results from two simple heuristics are presented for the task of siting 2, 3 or 4 hubs to serve interactions between sets of 10,15,20 and 25 U.S. cities. The effects of different computational shortcuts are examined.

This paper considers the discrete two-hub location problem. We need to choose two hubs from a set of nodes. The remaining nodes are to be connected to one of the two hubs which act as switching points for intemodal flows. A configuration which minimizes the total flow cost needs to be found. We show
