A bilevel programming model represents the relationship in a specific decision process that
involves decisions within a hierarchical structure of two levels. The upper-level problem is …

This paper provides a review on recent works in the field of competitive facility location
models based on the following seven components: 1) Variables, 2) Competition type, 3) …

Two players sequentially locate a fixed number of facilities, competing to capture market
share. Facilities face disruption risks, and each customer patronizes the nearest operational …

To better solve the complex non-linear problem between the subjective sound quality
evaluation results and objective psychoacoustics parameters, a method for the prediction of …

Competitive facility location problems arise in the context of two non-cooperating
companies, a leader and a follower, competing for market share from a given set of …

Purpose The research in competitive facility location (CFL) is quite dynamic, both from a
problem formulation and an algorithmic point of view. Research direction has changed …

This work presents a steady-state genetic algorithm enhanced by a complete trie-based
solution archive for solving the generalized vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands …

This paper addresses a bi-level mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for
the competitive facility location problem in a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC), in which a …

Over the last decades, so-called hybrid optimization approaches have become increasingly
popular for addressing hard optimization problems. In fact, when looking at leading …

This paper proposes a robust, dynamic, multi-objective optimization approach to the
capacity-location problem for bank branches in a competitive environment named Multi …
