description

The Tree-QAP is a special case of the Quadratic Assignment Problem where the flows not equal zero form a tree. No condition is required for the distance matrix. In this paper we present an integer programming formulation for the Tree-QAP. We use this formulation to construct four Lagrangean relaxations that produce several lower bounds for this problem. To solve one of the relaxed problems we present a Dynamic Programming algorithm which is a generalization of the algorithm of this type that gives a lower bound for the Travelling Salesman Problem. A comparison is given between the lower bounds obtained by each ralaxation for examples with size from 12 to 25.
