A Dual Ascent Procedure for Large Scale Uncapacitated Network Design

The fixed-charge network design problem arises in a variety of problem contexts including transportation, communication, and production scheduling.We develop a family of dual ascent algorithms for this problem. This approach generalizes known ascent procedures for solving shortest path, plant locati...
