Product distribution via a bi-level programming approach: Algorithms and a case study in municipal waste system

作者：

Highlights：

• Product distribution problem is modeled as a bi-level programming.

• Optimal assignment for problems in which supplies cannot be split is given.

• 5 algorithms are proposed for solving lower-level problem in the bi-level model.

• Effectiveness's of all algorithms are compared with the solution from CPLEX.

• Waste system of Northern Thailand is studied and compared with existing work.
