摘要
In this paper, we study a stochastic version of the fault-tolerant facility location problem. By exploiting the stochastic structure, we propose a 5-approximation algorithm which uses the LP-rounding technique based on the revised optimal solution to the linear programming relaxation of the stochastic fault-tolerant facility location problem. © 2013 Operations Research Society of China, Periodicals Agency of Shanghai University, and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
