Concentrator location in telecommunications

Abstract

We survey the main results in the author's PhD Thesis presented in December 2002 at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and supervised by Prof. Martine Labbé. The dissertation is written in English and is available at smg.ulb.ac.be. Several versions of concentrator location problems in telecommunication networks are studied. The thesis presents a list of polyhedral results for these problems and a branch and cut algorithm for the most general problem introduced.
