Lower-bounded facility location
We study the lower-bounded facility location problem, which generalizes the classical uncapacitated facility location problem in that it comes with lower bound constraints for the...

Connected facility location via random facility sampling and core detouring
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

A 3-Approximation for Facility Location with Uniform Capacities
We consider the facility location problem where each facility can serve at most U clients. We analyze a local search algorithm for this problem which uses only the operations of ad...

A Local Facility Location Algorithm for Large-scale Distributed Systems
In the facility location problem (FLP) we are given a set of facilities and a set of clients, each of which is to be served by one facility. The goal is to decide which subset of f...

Solving the semi-desirable facility location problem using bi-objective particle swarm
In this paper, a new model for the semi-obnoxious facility location problem is introduced. The new model is composed of a weighted minisum function to represent the transportation...

Location of slaughterhouses under economies of scale
The facility location problem described in this paper comes from an industrial application in the slaughterhouse industry of Norway. Investigations show that the slaughterhouse in...

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...

Modelling the Hop Constrained Connected Facility Location Problem on Layered Graphs
Gouveia et al. [3] show how to model the Hop Constrained Minimum Spanning tree problem as Steiner tree problem on a layered graph. Following their ideas, we provide three possibil...

Minimizing Movement in Mobile Facility Location Problems
In the mobile facility location problem, which is a variant of the classical Uncapacitated Facility Location and kMedian problems, each facility and client is assigned to a start ...
