Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugarcane and has a great potential for sugar and
ethanol production. Sao Paulo is its main producer state and produced more than 367,450 …

Infectious waste disposal remains one of the most serious problems in the medical, social
and environmental domains of almost every country. Selection of new suitable locations and …

Motivated by recent real-life applications in Location Theory in which the location decisions
generate controversy, we propose a novel bilevel location model in which, on the one hand …

In this paper we propose a general methodology for solving a broad class of continuous,
multifacility location problems, in any dimension and with ℓ τ-norms proposing two different …

The two best studied facility location problems are the p p-median problem and the
uncapacitated facility location problem (Daskin, Network and discrete location: models …

We consider multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems handled by preference-
driven efficient heuristics. They look for the most preferred part of the Pareto front based on …

This chapter analyzes multicriteria continuous, network, and discrete location problems. In
the continuous framework, we provide a complete description of the set of weak Pareto …

The purpose of this study is to identify a humanized computing model for solving ambient
service location problems with a developed heuristic algorithm. In real situations, space …

As a generalization of p-center location problems, pk-max problems minimize the k th largest
weighted distance to the customers. In this way, outlier facilities can be detected …

Providing an effective health service as a state is equivalent to giving life. Health services,
whose pillar is to optimize the supply chain with public policies based on equity, are equal to …
