  • Abstract
    Because of the constraint conditions of hub capacity and the large number of the hub combinations, the capacitated p-hub median problems are complicated. This paper presented a tree pruning algorithm to obtain the optimal solution in a local range. The algorithm was combined with Lagrangian relaxation method and applied to the air transportation system using data on passenger flows between the top 20 Chinese cities. Calculating results suggest that this algorithm is effective to reduce the complexity of the capacitated p-hub median problems.
