description

Abstract We apply fuzzy techniques to incorporate external data into p-median problems. So we can detect certain solutions that would be discarded by usual crisp and fuzzy algorithms but that contrasted with this additional information can be advantageous. This usually reveals a pathology of the model and hence our methods provide some fuzzy validation criteria for p-median models.
