In this paper we review research on the location of facilities that have a negative impact on
surrounding communities which are defined in the literature, for example, as obnoxious …

Although modern location theory is now more than 90 years old, the focus of researchers in
this area has been mainly problem oriented. However, a common theory, which keeps the …

There are several good reasons to introduce classification schemes for optimization models.
For instance, the ability to make concise problem statements, as opposed to verbal, often …

Given a collection of n functions defined on R d, and a polyhedral set Q⊂ R d, we consider
the problem of minimizing the sum of the k largest functions of the collection over Q …

Location problems occurring in urban or regional settings may involve many tens of
thousands of “demand points,” usually individual private residences. In modeling such …

Sudden cardiac arrest is a significant public health concern. Successful treatment of cardiac
arrest is extremely time sensitive, and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) …

This paper addresses the general continuous single facility location problems in finite
dimension spaces under possibly different ℓ _ τ ℓ τ norms, τ ≥ 1 τ≥ 1, in the demand points …

Flexible discrete location problems are a generalization of most classical discrete locations
problems like p-median or p-center problems. They can be modeled by using so-called …

This paper addresses a version of the single-facility Maximal Covering Location Problem on
a network where the demand is:(i) distributed along the edges and (ii) uncertain with only a …

The discrete ordered median problem (DOMP) integrates classical discrete location
problems, such as the N-median, N-center and Uncapacitated Facility Location problems. It …
