Abstract

This paper focuses on uncapacited single allocation hub location problem. The number of hubs can be either given or to be an object of optimization. The basic problem and its variations are formulated and then a GA-based algorithm is described in the text. This algorithm was tested on standard data sets (CAB, AP). The experiment verified the effectiveness of GAs for solving even extensive instances of this NP-hard problem.
