Some personal views on the current state and the future of locational analysis
1998
In this paper a group of participants of the 12th European Summer Institute which took place in Tenerife, Spain in June 1995 present their views on the state of the art and the future trends in Locational Analysis. The issues discussed include modeling aspects in discrete Location Theory, the influence of the distance function, the relation between discrete, network and continuous location, heuristic techniques, the state of technology and undesirable facility location. Some general questions are stated regarding the applicability of location models, promising research directions and the way technology affects the development of solution techniques.
Efficiency in constrained continuous location
1998
Abstract We present a geometrical characterization of the efficient, weakly efficient and strictly efficient points for multi-objective location problems in presence of convex constraints and when distances are measured by an arbitrary norm. These results, established for a compact set of demand points, generalize similar characterizations previously obtained for uncontrained problems. They are used to show that, in planar problems, the set of constrained weakly efficient points always coincides with the closest projection of the set of unconstrained weakly efficient points onto the feasible set. This projection property which are known previously only for strictly convex norms, allows to e…
