On a cardinality-constrained transportation problem with market choice. (English) Zbl 1408.90204

Summary: It is well-known that the intersection of the matching polytope with a cardinality constraint is integral [A. Schrijver, Combinatorial optimization. Polyhedra and efficiency (3 volumes). Berlin: Springer (2003; Zbl 1041.90001)]. In this note, we prove a similar result for the polytope corresponding to the transportation problem with market choice (TPMC) (introduced in [P. Damcı-Kurt et al., Discrete Appl. Math. 181, 54–77 (2015; Zbl 1311.90074)]) when the demands are in the set \(\{1, 2 \}\). This result generalizes the result regarding the matching polytope. The result in this note implies that some special classes of minimum weight perfect matching problem with a cardinality constraint on a subset of edges can be solved in polynomial time.
