Abstract

The constrained competitive location problem is a classic NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization. When the existing algorithms study this problem, the optimal solution cannot be obtained or the solution speed is slow. Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing algorithms, this paper modified this classic problem and constructed a new mathematical model. Then it studied the mathematical properties of the model, and proposed upper and lower bound algorithms and lower bound algorithms on the basis of mathematical properties. The order sub-algorithm reduced the order of the problem and achieved the purpose of reducing the search solution space of the problem. There were both single order reduction and batch reduction in the order reduction process. Then it designed a backtracking sub-algorithm on the basis of the previous one to solve the optimal solution of the problem. Finally, the principle of the algorithm was explained more clearly through the analysis of two examples, and the result proves that the algorithm can find the optimal solution faster.
