in this study, we discuss the capacitated facility location-allocation problem with uncertain parameters in which the uncertainty is characterized by given finite numbers of scenarios. in this model, the objective function minimizes the total expected costs of transportation and opening facilities subject to the robustness constraint. to tackle the problem efficiently and effectively, an effici...

this paper addresses a reliable facility location problem with considering facility capacity constraints. in reliable facility location problem some facilities may become unavailable from time to time. if a facility fails, its clients should refer to other facilities by paying the cost of retransfer to these facilities. hence, the fail of facilities leads to disruptions in facility location dec...

We consider a network design problem that arises in the costoptimal design of last mile telecommunication networks. It extends the Connected Facility Location problem by introducing capacities on the facilities and links of the networks. It combines aspects of the capacitated network design problem and the single-source capacitated facility location problem We refer to it as the Capacitated Con...

using greedy clustering method to solve capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands abstract in this paper, the capacitated location routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp_fd) is considered. in clrp_fd, facility location problem (flp) and vehicle routing problem (vrp) are observed simultaneously. indeed the vehicles and the depots have a predefined capacity to serve the customerst...

We study the capacitated k-facility location problem, in which we are given a set of clients with demands, a set of facilities with capacities and a constant number k. It costs fi to open facility i, and cij for facility i to serve one unit of demand from client j. The objective is to open at most k facilities serving all the demands and satisfying the capacity constraints while minimizing the ...

Using Greedy Clustering Method to Solve Capacitated Location-Routing Problem with Fuzzy Demands Abstract In this paper, the capacitated location routing problem with fuzzy demands (CLRP_FD) is considered. In CLRP_FD, facility location problem (FLP) and vehicle routing problem (VRP) are observed simultaneously. Indeed the vehicles and the depots have a predefined capacity to serve the customerst...

In this paper we present a 1.52-approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility location problem, and a 2-approximation algorithm for the metric capacitated facility location problem with soft capacities. Both these algorithms improve the best previously known approximation factor for the corresponding problem, and our soft-capacitated facility location algorithm achieves the inte...
