Search tree-based approach for the p-median problem using the ant colony optimization algorithm

In this paper we present an approximation algorithm for the $p$-median problem that uses the principles of ant colony optimization technique. We introduce a search tree that keeps the partial solutions during the solution process of the $p$-median problem. An adaptation is proposed that allows ant c...
