This thesis deals with the problem of minimum cost microwave communication network. And it aims at the determination of flow routes and the locations of drop-insert stations among the remote stations.
By now, this problem has not been treated especially, so the mathematical formulation of it is tried as mixed integer programs. And no options of the capacity of repeaters and static demands are assumed as prerequisities for them.
As a mathematical approaches to this problem, two algorithms are suggested. And these are essentially based on the decomposition technique, shortest path algorithm, and flow exchange with the associated arc capacity changed. Finally, computational results for the real problem are presented.
The motivation for such efforts stems from the need to solve dicrete arc capacity multicommodity synthesis problem within reasonable time and is also applicable to other large scale network problems.
