Several multi-criteria-decision-making methodologies assume the existence of weights associated with the different criteria, reflecting their relative importance.One of the most popular ways to infer such weights is the analytic hierarchy process, which constructs first a matrix of pairwise...

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...
