Abstract
In this paper a surrogate version of semi-Lagrangian relaxation (SLR) of an integer program is introduced. The corresponding dual problem of the proposed relaxation, has properties similar to SLR. In particular, it closes the duality gap. As an application of the surrogate version, a heuristic dual-ascent procedure is proposed for the uncapacitated facility location problem. Numerical tests on some classical instances and real-life applications show that the algorithm provides near-optimal solutions in reasonable time.
