RT Journal Article T1 Application of decomposition techniques in a wildfire suppression optimization model A1 Rodríguez Veiga, Jorge A1 Rodríguez Penas, David A1 González Rueda, Ángel Manuel A1 Ginzo Villamayor, María José K1 Assignment problems K1 Wildfire management K1 Decomposition techniques K1 Benders decomposition K1 Integer programming AB Resource assignment and scheduling models provides an automatic and fast decision support system for wildfire suppression logistics. However, this process generates challenging optimization problems in many real-world cases, and the computational time becomes a critical issue, especially in realistic-size instances. Thus, to overcome that limitation, this work studies and applies a set of decomposition techniques such as augmented Lagrangian, branch and price, and Benders decomposition’s to a wildfire suppression model. Moreover, a reformulation strategy, inspired by Benders’ decomposition, is also introduced and demonstrated. Finally, a numerical study comparing the behavior of the proposals using different problem sizes is conducted PB Springer SN 2160-9543 YR 2023 FD 2023 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/30369 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/30369 LA eng NO Rodríguez-Veiga, J., Penas, D.R., González-Rueda, Á.M. et al.
