We consider a multi-period facility location problem that takes into account changing trends in customer demands and costs. To this end, new facilities can be established at pre-specified potential locations and initially existing facilities can be closed over a planning horizon. Furthermore, facilities operate with modular capacities that can be expanded or contracted over multiple periods. A ...

Given the probability measure ν over the given region Ω ⊂ Rn, we consider the optimal location of a set Σ composed by n points Ω in order to minimize the average distance Σ 7→ R Ω dist (x,Σ) dν (the classical optimal facility location problem). The paper compares two strategies to find optimal configurations: the long-term one which consists in placing all n points at once in an optimal positio...

In this paper, we deal with competitive facility location problems in which the demand of each customer depends on the facilities. In our models two competitive companies intend to locate their facilities on the market in order to maximize the total demand acquired from the market. The distances between the facilities and the demand points are measured by rectangular distance. At first we consi...
