Abstract
⺠We study the application of Benders decomposition to the fixed-charge network problem. ⺠A method for the initialization of Benders master problem is presented. ⺠Master problem is initialized by a series of generally applicable valid inequalities. ⺠Initializing the master problem, the algorithm starts from narrower bounds. ⺠This method significant decreases the number of iterations and the CPU solution time.
