The Optimal Location of Doctors
New England Journal of Medicine, 1982There is a presumption in the health-care literature that doctors in the United States are geographically maldistributed. Yet there has been little discussion of the appropriate way to evaluate patterns of location. This paper discusses four different criteria for determining the optimal geographic distribution of doctors, all of which are implicit in ...

We propose and solve the optimal-location query in spatial databases. Given a set S of sites, a set O of weighted objects, and a spatial region Q, the optimal-location query returns a location in Q with maximum influence. Here the influence of a location l is the total weight of its RNNs, i.e.

Constraints on locational optimization problems
42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37475), 2004This paper discusses a clustering approach to locational optimization in the context of UAV (unmanned air vehicles) mission planning. In particular, the deterministic annealing (DA) algorithm from the data compression literature is adapted to address such problems, which bears a strong analogy to the statistical physics formulation of the annealing ...

Optimal Consolidation of Polling Locations
Manufacturing & Service Operations ManagementProblem definition: Many logistical and financial challenges of facilitating an election lead election officials to consolidate polling locations. However, determining when it is appropriate to consolidate polling locations and how to consolidate polling locations, if necessary, is a difficult and high-stakes decision that influences voter ...

On a Constrained Optimal Location Algorithm
Journal of Computational Analysis and Applications, 2003Summary: In problems of optimal location, one seeks a position or location that optimizes a particular objective function; this objective function typically relates location and distances to a fixed point set. When one's search is restricted to a given set, we refer to this as a constrained optimal location problem.

Impact of the Norm on Optimal Locations
2009Our research sets in the field of k -facilities location-allocation problems. More precisely, we developed an approach, that aims to assess the sensitivity of centers to different metrics used to locate them, according to various spatial distributions of demands. We start by a concise state of the art.

Optimal Point Location in a Monotone Subdivision
SIAM Journal on Computing, 1986Point location, often known in graphics as ''hit detection'', is one of the fundamental problems of computational geometry. In a point location query we want to identify which of a given collection of geometric objects contains a particular point. Let \({\mathcal S}\) denote a subdivision of the Euclidean plane into monotone regions by a straight-line ...
