This paper presents a general mixed-norm minisum problem for locating a single facility in continuous space. It is assumed that several transportation modes exist between the new facility and a given set of fixed points (the customers), each mode being represented by a different ℓ <Subscript> p </Subscript> norm.

This paper presents a new local search approach for solving continuous location problems. The main idea is to exploit the relation between the continuous model and its discrete counterpart. A local search is first conducted in the continuous space until a local optimum is reached. It then...
