Abstract

This paper deals with a single allocation problem in hub-and-spoke networks. We handle the case that all the nodes are embedded in a 2-dimensional plane and a transportation cost (per unit flow) is proportional to Euclidean distance. We propose a randomized (1+2/π)-approximation algorithm based on a linear relaxation problem and a dependent rounding procedure.
