Cooperative Facility Location Games.

The location of facilities in order to provide service for customers is a well-studied problem in the operations research literature. In this paper, we establish strong connextions between fair cost allocations and linear programming relaxations for several variants of the facility location problem. In particular, we show that a fair cost allocation exists if and only if there is no integrality gap for a corresponding linear programming relaxation.
