Threshold robustness in discrete facility location problems: a bi-objective approach

A Survey of Discrete Facility Location Problems

Facility location is a complex real-world problem which needs a strategic management decision. This paper provides a general review on studies, efforts and developments in Facility Location Problems which are classical optimization problems having a wide-spread applications in various areas such as transportation, distribution, production, supply chain decisions and telecommunication. Our goal ...

Sequential Competitive Facility Location Problem in a Discrete Planar Space

In this paper, there are two competitors in a planar market. The first competitor, called, the leader, opens new facilities. After that, the second competitor, the follower, reacts to the leader’s action and opens r new facilities. The leader and the follower have got some facilities in advance in this market. The optimal locations for leader and follower are chosen among predefined candida...

Bi-objective Combined Facility Location and Network Design

This paper presents a multicriterion algorithm for dealing with joint facility location and network design problems, formulated as bi-objective problems. The algorithm is composed of two modules: a multiobjective quasi-Newton algorithm, that is used to find the location of the facilities; and a multiobjective genetic algorithm, which is responsible for finding the efficient topologies. These mo...
