A flexible approach to location problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In continuous location problems we are given a set of existing facilities and we are looking for the location of one or several new facilities. In the classical approaches weights are assigned to existing facilities expressing the importance of the new facilities for the existing ones. In this paper, we consider a pointwise deened objective function where the weights are assigned to the existing facilities depending on the location of the new facility. This approach is shown to be a generalization of the median, center and centdian objective functions. In addition, this approach allows to formulate completely new location models. EEcient algorithms as well as structural results for this algebraic approach for location problems are presented. A complexity analysis and extensions to the multifacility and restricted case are also considered.

In traditional scheduling literature, it is generally assumed that the location of facilities are predetermined and fixed in advance. However, these decisions are interrelated and may impact each other significantly. Therefore finding a schedule and facility location has become an important problem as an extension of the well-known scheduling problems. In this research we consider joint decisio...
متن کاملA new solving approach for fuzzy flexible programming problem in uncertainty conditions
Modeling and solving real world problems is one of the most important issues in optimization problems. In this paper, we present an approach to solve Fuzzy Interval Flexible Linear Programming (FIFLP) problems that simultaneously have the interval ambiguity in the matrix of coefficients .In the first step, using the interval problem solving techniques; we transform the fuzzy interval flexible p...
متن کاملA goal programming approach for fuzzy flexible linear programming problems
We are concerned with solving Fuzzy Flexible Linear Programming (FFLP) problems. Even though, this model is very practical and is useful for many applications, but there are only a few methods for its situation. In most approaches proposed in the literature, the solution process needs at least, two phases where each phase needs to solve a linear programming problem. Here, we propose a method t...
