Abstract

Inferior and noninferior solutions to the location set-covering problem arc differentiated and computational experience is presented which strongly suggests that noninferior solutions, from the relaxed linear programming formulation, will be fully integral with a high degree of reliability. The authors have not yet encountered a noninferior fractional solution. An explanation of this phenomenon is presented.
