Let A be a nonempty finite subset of the plane representing the geographical coordinates of a set of demand points (towns, …), to be served by a facility, whose location within a given region S is sought. Assuming that the unit cost for a∈A if the facility is located at x∈S is proportional...

When dealing with location problems we are usually given a set of existing facilities and we are looking for the location of one or several new facilities. In the classical approaches weights are assigned to existing facilities expressing the importance of the new facilities for the existing...

In this paper we address the question of how many objective functions are needed to decide whether a given point is a Pareto optimal solution for a multicriteria optimization problem. We extend earlier results showing that the set of weakly Pareto optimal points is the union of Pareto optimal...

In this paper we look at two interesting extensions to the classical 2-Facility Weber Problem in ℝ<Superscript> d </Superscript>: At first problems are investigated where we do not allow the optimal locations to be in a specific region. Efficient algorithms for this Global Optimization problem are presented as well as...</superscript>

To model flexible objectives for discrete location problems, ordered median functions can be applied. These functions multiply a weight to the cost of fulfilling the demand of a customer which depends on the position of that cost relative to the costs of fulfilling the demand of the other...

Classical location models fix an objective function and then attempt to find optimal points to this objective. In the last years a flexible approach, the ordered median problem, has been introduced. It handles a wide class of objectives, such as the median, the center and the centdian function....
