This paper deals with facility location problems with pos=neg weights in trees. We consider two di erent objective functions which model two di erent ways to handle obnoxious faci...
We consider the problem of balancing the load among m service-providing facilities, while keeping the total cost low. Let R be the underlying demand region, and let p1, . . . , pm...
