Pioneering Developments in Location Analysis

Eiselt, H. A.; Marianov, Vladimir

Pages: 3 –22

[A mathematician would probably define a location problem as solving the following question: “given some metric space and a set of known points, determine a number of additional points so as to optimize a function of the distance between new and existing points.” A geographer’s explanation might...

Uncapacitated and Capacitated Facility Location Problems

Verter, Vedat

Pages: 25 –37

[The uncapacitated facility location problem (UFLP) involves locating an undetermined number of facilities to minimize the sum of the (annualized) fixed setup costs and the variable costs of serving the market demand from these facilities. UFLP is also known as the “simple” facility location...

Median Problems in Networks

Marianov, Vladimir; Serra, Daniel

Pages: 39 –59

[Suppose a number of geographically distributed customers are demanding a service or good, and facilities providing it need to be optimally located. Once facilities are deployed, either customers travel to the facilities to satisfy their needs, or vehicles travel from the facilities to customers’...

Continuous Center Problems

Drezner, Zvi

Pages: 63 –78

[The minimax facility location problem (also called the one center problem) seeks to locate a facility so that the maximum distance to a set of demand points is minimized. Using Euclidean distances in the plane, this problem is equivalent to finding the center of the smallest circle enclosing all...

Discrete Center Problems

Tansel, Barbaros Ç.

Pages: 79 –106

[Our focus in this chapter is on discrete center location problems. This class of problems involves locating one or more facilities on a network to service a set of demand points at known locations in such a way that every demand receives its service from a closest facility, and the maximum...

Covering Problems

Snyder, Lawrence V.

Pages: 109 –135

[The mail-order DVD rental company Netflix chooses distribution center locations so that most of its customers receive their DVDs within one business day via first-class U.S. Mail. Similarly, many municipalities aim to have fire crews reach 911 callers within a specified time, such as four...

Equilibria in Competitive Location Models

Eiselt, H. A.

Pages: 139 –162

[Whereas the usual location models locate facilities based on the wishes and objectives of a single decision maker, competitive location models consider the location of facilities that are under the jurisdiction of more than one decision maker. The economist Hotelling (1929) was the first to...

Sequential Location Models

Younies, Hassan; Eiselt, H. A.

Pages: 163 –178

[Competitive location models have been discussed in the location literature since Hotelling’s (1929) seminal paper. As other location contributions, his model includes customers, who are located in some metric space and who have a demand for some good. This demand may be satisfied by firms that...

Conditional Location Problems on Networks and in the Plane

Dasci, Abdullah

Pages: 179 –206

[Location decisions are of critical importance to all firms. Opening, closing, and relocating facilities require careful planning due to the strategic nature of these decisions. When customers do not have physical contact with the facilities (such as plants, distribution centers, or call...

The Location of Undesirable Facilities

Melachrinoudis, Emanuel

Pages: 207 –239

[Undesirable facilities are those facilities that have adverse effects on people or the environment. They generate some form of pollution, nuisance, potential health hazard, or danger to nearby residents; they also may harm nearby ecosystems. Examples are incinerators, landfills or sewage plants,...
