Facility location with double-peaked preference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We study the problem of locating a single facility on a real line based on the reports of self-interested agents, when agents have double-peaked preferences, with the peaks being on opposite sides of their locations.

Robust Fault Tolerant uncapacitated facility location [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In the uncapacitated facility location problem, given a graph, a set of demands and opening costs, it is required to find a set of facilities R, so as to minimize the sum of the cost of opening the facilities in R and the cost of assigning all node ...

Dynamic Facility Location via Exponential Clocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The \emph{dynamic facility location problem} is a generalization of the classic facility location problem proposed by Eisenstat, Mathieu, and Schabanel to model the dynamics of evolving social/infrastructure networks.

Distributionally robust facility location problem under decision-dependent stochastic demand [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Operational Research, 2019
Facility location decisions significantly impact customer behavior and consequently the resulting demand in a wide range of businesses. Furthermore, sequentially realized uncertain demand enforces strategically determining locations under partial ...

Risk-averse optimization of disaster relief facility location and vehicle routing under stochastic demand

open access: yesTransportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2020
Disasters such as fires, earthquakes, and floods cause severe casualties and enormous economic losses. One effective method to reduce these losses is to construct a disaster relief network to deliver disaster supplies as quickly as possible.

Probabilistic Analysis of Facility Location on Random Shortest Path Metrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The facility location problem is an NP-hard optimization problem. Therefore, approximation algorithms are often used to solve large instances. Such algorithms often perform much better than worst-case analysis suggests.

Facility location design methodology of global supply network (A proposal of cost-based facility location design methodology)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
For manufacturing industries to promote globalization, it is important to optimize the strategic design of supply networks. In early stages of strategic design of global supply networks, with regards to the market strategy (what sale volume of which ...

Towards defining reference materials for measuring extracellular vesicle refractive index, epitope abundance, size and concentration

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2020
Accurate characterization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is critical to explore their diagnostic and therapeutic applications. As the EV research field has developed, so too have the techniques used to characterize them.
