Abstract: This paper considers a distribution model with upper and lower bounds on the number of units shipped from an origin or to a destination. Our problem differs from the classical distribution model in which the node shipping amounts are, by contrast, specified exactly. This generalization of the classical distribution problem not only makes the model more versatile from a theoretical standpoint but also makes the model more usable from an applications viewpoint.
