چکیده
In this paper, some distributed approximation algorithms for uncapacitated facility location problem and fault-tolerant facility location problem are summarized, respectively. The worst-case run time of the distributed version of the uncapacitated facility location problem is ( ) O n , where n is the number of network nodes. In addition, the approximation approach for the fault-tolerant facility location problem is also implemented in a distributed and asynchronous manner within ( ) O n rounds of communication.

Approximation Methods for Solving the Equitable Location Problem with Probabilistic Customer Behavior
Location-allocation of facilities in service systems is an essential factor of their performance. One of the considerable situations which less addressed in the relevant literature is to balance service among customers in addition to minimize location-allocation costs. This is an important issue, especially in the public sector. Reviewing the recent researches in this field shows that most of t...
متن کاملNetwork Location Problem with Stochastic and Uniformly Distributed Demands
This paper investigates the network location problem for single-server facilities that are subject to congestion. In each network edge, customers are uniformly distributed along the edge and their requests for service are assumed to be generated according to a Poisson process. A number of facilities are to be selected from a number of candidate sites and a single server is located at each facil...
متن کاملNear-Constant-Time Distributed Algorithms on a Congested Clique
This paper presents constant-time and near-constant-time distributed algorithms for a variety of problems in the congested clique model. We show how to compute a 3-ruling set in expected O(log log logn) rounds and using this, we obtain a constant-approximation to metric facility location, also in expected O(log log logn) rounds. In addition, assuming an input metric space of constant doubling d...
متن کاملInverse and Reverse 2-facility Location Problems with Equality Measures on a Network
In this paper we consider the inverse and reverse network facility location problems with considering the equity on servers. The inverse facility location with equality measure deals with modifying the weights of vertices with minimum cost, such that the difference between the maximum and minimum weights of clients allocated to the given facilities is minimized. On the other hand, the reverse c...

In this article we focus on approximation algorithms for facility location problems with subadditive costs. As examples of such problems, we present two facility location problems with stochastic demand and exponential servers, respectively inventory. We present a (1 + , 1)-reduction of the facility location problem with subadditive costs to a soft capacitated facility location problem, which i...
