In a previous paper the author presented a tree search algorithm for the p-median problem, the problem of locating p facilities (medians) on a network, which was based upon Langrangean relaxation and subgradient optimization. That algorithm solved (optimally) problems with an arbitrary number of medians and having up to 200 vertices that it is possible to enhance that algorithm to solve (optimally) problems having up to 900 vertices using the Cray-1S computer.
