Covering problems constitute a fundamental family of facility location problems. This paper
introduces a new exact algorithm for two important members of this family:(i) the maximal …

Emergency centers are noticeably necessary for all societies, and allocation population to
such centers is an important optimization issue in urban planning. This paper investigates …

In this paper we analyze a continuous version of the maximal covering location problem, in
which the facilities are required to be linked by means of a given graph structure (provided …

Computational intelligence techniques are part of the search process in several recent
heuristics. One of their main benefits is the use of an adaptive memory to guide the search …

Determining the optimum location of facilities is critical in many fields, particularly in
healthcare. This study proposes the application of a suitable location model for field …

In this paper we propose a multiperiod optimization model based on the maximal covering
location problem in order to support safety policies within urban areas. In particular, we …

This paper addresses the facility location problem that aims to optimize the location and
scale of a new facility in consideration of customer restrictions, including customer …

In this paper, we introduce a mixed integer quadratic formulation for the congested variant of
the partial set covering location problem, which involves determining a subset of facility …

The problem of allocating a set of facilities in order to maximise the sum of the demands of
the covered clients is known as the maximal covering location problem. In this work we …
