An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a two-stage stochastic optimization model for the assignment problem of aircraft to gate and charging stations in urban air mobility (UAM). We develop a rigorous ...
