This article describes a model and an exact solution method for facility location problems with decision-dependent uncertainties. The model allows characterizing the probability distribution of the random elements as a function of the choice of open facilities. This, in turn, generates a combinatorial number of potential distributions of the random elements. Though general in the relationship between location decisions and distributions, the proposed model is, however, exponential in size. We show that the problem can be solved efficiently by a recent finitely convergent method for stochastic programs with decision-dependent uncertainty, for which we prove tight cutting planes and effective valid inequalities. Extensive tests show that facility location problems with up to $$2^{17}$$ potential distributions and hundreds of thousand scenarios are solved within minutes. These results indentify a promising solution strategy for other combinatorial optimization problems characterized by decision-dependent uncertanty.

We present a simple linear-time algorithm that finds a spanning tree T of a given 2-edge-connected graph G such that each vertex v of T has degree at most $$lceil frac{deg _G(v)}{2}rceil + 1$$ .
