This paper deals with the problem of a firm that searches the optimal location of plants under the following conditions: (1) Transport costs for delivery are incurred by the firm; transport costs between a plant and a customer are linear. (2) The customers' demands are known and have to be met; customers are scattered. (3) The possible plant locations

Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization, 2001
A Chebyshev center of a set A in a normed space is a location that minimizes the maximum distance to the set A. In many applications, this center may be regarded as an optimal location. In an inner product space, we characterize the linnearly constrained optimal location in terms of the unconstrained optimal location of an associated set (and show that

2007 iREP Symposium - Bulk Power System Dynamics and Control - VII. Revitalizing Operational Reliability, 2007
A continuous and reliable electrical energy supply is the objective of any power system operation. However, faults inevitably occur in power system due to bad weather conditions, equipment damage, equipment failure, environment changes, human or animal interference and many other reasons.

Single Crane Location Optimization
Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 1983This paper involves the development of a mathematical prescriptive model to establish the optimal location of a crane within a construction site. The objective function of the model is the minimization of the total transportation cost between the crane and construction supportive facilities that are serviced by the crane.

Optimal highway route location
Computer-Aided Design, 1975Abstract A computer-based design procedure obtains an optimal highway route location. A dynamic programming procedure searches a feasible region and produces a broad band of interest within which the optimal route will lie. A program using a variational calculus technique then optimizes the route within the band of interest, leading to a narrow ...

In designing manufacturing systems it is desirable that their component resources shall be properly matched to the production requirement. The use of set theory in achieving this matching is briefly reviewed and the analysis is extended to include the location of resources and the flow of work within the procedure of economic optimisation.

Base station location optimization
Gateway to 21st Century Communications Village. VTC 1999-Fall. IEEE VTS 50th Vehicular Technology Conference (Cat. No.99CH36324), 1999Optimal base station location involves locating multiple base stations within a specific deployment site, while providing an acceptable quality of service to mobiles. Published research has focused on the objective function formulation and local optimization strategies.

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 ...

As a consequence of increased electricity market, the distribution systems have been restated to consider alternative generation sources. These sources with a maximum capacity of less than 100 MW are defined as distributed generation (GD). Most DGs are usually connected to the electrical network without planned and dispatched control, since traditional
