LOWER BOUNDS OF THE CRITERIUM IN THE PROBLEM OF ASSIGNEMENT OF TRAINS ON THE TIME SLOTS

Abstract

In this paper we consider the container transshipment problem at a railway hub. New lower
bounds are developed. One lower bound is based on the linear relaxation of the integer linear formulation, and the other lower bound is based on the Lagrangian relaxation technique.
