A fast metaheuristic approach for the planar multiple obnoxious facility location problem
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The multiple obnoxious facility location problem is one of the most studied problems in the literature of the obnoxious facility location problems family. In this work, we propose an alternative algorithmic approach for this problem, based on an efficient metaheuristic procedure over a discretization of the plane based on Voronoi diagrams ...

Based on the experience of a woman diagnosed with schizophrenia and her mother, I show how CMH's emphasis on community‐based care often fails in practice, as neighbors respond to people with mental
