Zusammenfassung:When considering hub-and-spoke networks with multiple allocation, the classical models of the literature compute solutions with large discount factors for small flows on interhub connections. Addressing the economies of scale issue, a tighter formulation for this problem is presented, bringing forward a special structure. A specialized version of Benders decomposition is then developed to solve large instances in reasonable time.
