Popis: We develop a Lagrangean heuristic for the maximal covering location problem. Upper bounds are given by a vertex addition and substitution heuristic and lower bounds are produced through a subgradient optimization algorithm. The procedure was tested in networks of up to 150 vertices. A duality gap was generally present at the end of the heuristic for the larger problems. The test problems were run in an IBM 3090-600J ‘super-computer’; the maximum computing time was kept below three minutes of CPU.
