A hybrid multistart heuristic for the uncapacitated facility location problem
We present a multistart heuristic for the uncapacitated facility location problem, based on a very successful method we originally developed for the p-median problem. We show exte...

On the average case performance of some greedy approximation algorithms for the uncapacitated facility location problem
In combinatorial optimization, a popular approach to NP-hard problems is the design of approximation algorithms. These algorithms typically run in polynomial time and are guarante...

Greedy Strikes Back: Improved Facility Location Algorithms
A fundamental facility location problem is to choose the location of facilities, such as industrial plants and warehouses, to minimize the cost of satisfying the demand for some c...

Load balancing and capacity constraints in a hierarchical location model
Recent work on the location of perinatal facilities in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro resulted in the development of an uncapacitated, three-level hierarchical model. An impor...
