Competitive Facility Location Problem with Demands Depending on the Facilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we deal with competitive facility location problems in which the demand of each customer depends on the facilities. In our models two competitive companies intend to locate their facilities on the market in order to maximize the total demand acquired from the market. The distances between the facilities and the demand points are measured by rectangular distance. At first we consider the linear model and derive the optimal policy for locating the facilities. We then extend the model to planar case and also derive the optimal policy.

In this paper, a leader–follower competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of the competitors is studied. A model for locating new facilities and determining levels of quality for the facilities of the leader firm is proposed. Moreover, changes in the location and quality of existing facilities in a competitive market where a competitor offers the same goods or services ar...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Model for a Capacitated Location-allocation Problem with Bernoulli Demand using Sub-sources
This study presents a capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with stochastic demands based on a well-known distribution function. In this discrete environment, besides the capacitated facilities, we can employee the capacitated sub-source of each facility for satisfying demands of customers. The objective function is to find the optimal locations of facilities among a finite num...
