## Abstract A heuristic solution procedure for set covering is presented that works well for large, relatively dense problems. In addition, a confidence interval is established about the unknown global optimum. Results are presented for 30 large randomly generated problems.

## Abstract This article investigates the application of very large neighborhood search techniques for solving the capacitated vertex __p__βcenter problem. We characterize a local search neighborhood in terms of path and cyclic exchanges of customers among facilities, and exploit principles borrowe
In this paper, we study approximation algorithms for several NP-hard facility location problems.We prove that a simple local search heuristic yields polynomialtime constant-factor approximation bounds for the metric versions of the uncapacitated k-median problem and the uncapacitated facility locati
