On agglomeration in competitive location models
Agglomeration of facilities that compete with each other is common in practice, which suggests the existence of forces driving facilities to locate in clusters. Shopping centers and food courts are everyday examples. Although these agglomeration forces have been adequately analyzed and explained in the economic literature, operational research location models have not taken them into considerat...
متن کاملLocation Aggregation of Spatial Population CTMC Models
In this paper we focus on spatial Markov population models, describing the stochastic evolution of populations of agents, explicitly modelling their spatial distribution, representing space as a discrete, finite graph. More specifically, we present a heuristic approach to aggregating spatial locations, which is designed to preserve the dynamical behaviour of the model whilst reducing the comput...
متن کاملDiscrete models for competitive location with foresight
We adapt the competitive location model based on maximal covering to include the knowledge that a competitor will enter the market later with a single new facility. The objective is to locate facilities under a budget constraint in order to maximise the remaining market share after the competitor’s later entry. We develop mixed zero-one programming formulations for each of the following three s...
متن کاملConsumer Choice in Competitive Location Models: Formulations and Heuristics
A new direction of research in Competitive Location theory incorporates theories of Consumer Choice Behavior in its models. Following this direction, this paper studies the importance of consumer behavior with respect to distance or transportation costs in the optimality of locations obtained by traditional Competitive Location models. To do this, it considers different ways of defining a key p...
متن کاملReducing aggregation error in spatial interaction models by location sampling
Models of spatial interaction such as transport, migration, commuting and trade usually partition space into zones, to represent the receiving and sending end of the interaction. When zones encompass multiple locations, the partitioning causes an aggregation error (Hillsman and Rhoda 1978). The aggregation error increases with the size of zones. Aggregation errors can cause bias (Goodchild 1979...
