Title
The -arborescence star problem: Formulations and exact solution approaches.
Abstract
•We address an optimization problem arising in the design of ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. The so called p-arborescence star problem (P-ASP).•We introduce MIP formulations and exact solution methods for P-ASP.•Valid inequalities to strengthen the models are also given.•We develop three branch-and-cut algorithms and a combinatorial Benders-based heuristic, which is used to provide the initial solution to exact algorithms.•Optimal solutions obtained with the proposed branch-and-cut algorithms are reported for instances with at most 200 vertices and 60 cluster-heads.
