Dynamic Facility Location via Exponential Clocks [PDF]
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.

Facility location optimization model for emergency humanitarian logistics [PDF]
Since the 1950s, the number of natural and man-made disasters has increased exponentially and the facility location problem has become the preferred approach for dealing with emergency humanitarian logistical problems.

Optimal Parameterized Algorithms for Planar Facility Location Problems Using Voronoi Diagrams [PDF]
We study a general family of facility location problems defined on planar graphs and on the two-dimensional plane. In these problems, a subset of k objects has to be selected, satisfying certain packing (disjointness) and covering constraints.

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

Unreliable point facility location problems on networks [PDF]
In this paper we study facility location problems on graphs under the most common criteria, such as, median, center and centdian, but we incorporate in the objective function some reliability aspects.

Facility layout problem: Bibliometric and benchmarking analysis [PDF]
Facility layout problem is related to the location of departments in a facility area, with the aim of determining the most effective configuration. Researches based on different approaches have been published in the last six decades and, to prove the ...

Hub Location Problems: The Location of Interacting Facilities [PDF]
O’Kelly’s (1986) classical paper started a new research stream by identifying a connection between spatial interaction models and location theory. The traditional spatial interaction theory applies models of travel behavior to investigate demand patterns between fixed locations.

The capacity constrained facility location problem [PDF]
We initiate the study of the capacity constrained facility location problem from a mechanism design perspective. The capacity constrained setting leads to a new strategic environment where a facility serves a subset of the population, which is endogenously determined by the ex-post Nash equilibrium of an induced subgame and is not directly controlled ...
