v150d30-2hopcds [MIPLIB] Austin Buchanan A problem in wireless networks. The objective is to select a minimum number of relay nodes so that any two nonadjacent nodes can communicate by way of the chosen relay nodes in at most s hops, where s is a problem input. The 2-hop case of this problem can be formulated as a set cover/hitting set problem with n binary variables and n^2 constraints: _{ k N(i) N(j) } x_k 1 for nonadjacent node pairs {i,j}. Despite the formulation's simplicity, instances with as few as 120 variables are left unsolved after one hour using Gurobi 7.0.2. 0.746644 2

scpk4 [MIPLIB] Shunji Umetani This is a random test instance generator for SCP using the scheme of the following paper, namely the column cost c[j] are integer randomly generated from [1,100]; every column covers at least one row; and every row is covered by at least two columns. see reference: E. Balas and A. Ho, Set covering algorithms using cutting planes, heuristics, and subgradient optimization: A computational study, Mathematical Programming, 12 (1980), 37-60. We have newly generated Classes I-N with the following parameter values, where each class has five instances. We have also generated reduced instances by a standard pricing method in the following paper: S. Umetani and M. Yagiura, Relaxation heuristics for the set covering problem, Journal of the Operations Research Society of Japan, 50 (2007), 350-375.
