in many practical distribution networks, managers face significant uncertainties in demand, local price of building facilities, transportation cost, and macro and microeconomic parameters. this paper addresses design of distribution networks in a supply chain system which optimizes the performance of distribution networks subject to required service level. this service level, which is considere...

The facility location game is an extensively studied problem in mechanism design. In the classical model, cost of each agent her distance to nearest facility. this paper, we consider a novel model where charges entrance fee, which function facility's location. Thus, our sum and fee generalized captures more real-life scenarios. can be arbitrary function, corresponding preferences agents may not...

The Dynamic Facility Location problem is a generalization of the classic problem, in which distance metric between clients and facilities changes over time. Such metrics that develop as function time are usually called “evolving metrics”, thus can be alternatively interpreted evolving metrics. objective this time-dependent variant to balance trade-off optimizing stability solution, modeled by c...
