Journal ArticleDOI

Static competitive facility location: An overview of optimisation approaches

TL;DR: An overview of the research, models and literature about optimisation approaches to the problem of optimally locating one or more new facilities in an environment where competing facilities are already established is given.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the point for which the sum of the distances to n given points is minimum

TL;DR: This translation with annotations of E. Weiszfeld, Sur le point pour lequel la somme des distances de n points donnés est minimum, Tôhoku Mathematical Journal (first series), 43 (1937) pp. 355–386 is published.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solving a Huff-like competitive location and design model for profit maximization in the plane

TL;DR: This paper presents an exact global optimisation technique based on reliable computing using interval analysis, incorporating several novel features, and demonstrates that this difficult and very multi-modal problem can be solved by such techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

GBSSS - The generalized big square small square method for planar single facility location

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the Big Square Small Square (BSS) algorithm is presented, aimed at correcting a small failure to converge, accelerating the calculations, minimising the information to be stored, and determining a region of near-optimality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discrete models for competitive location with foresight

TL;DR: This work develops mixed zero-one programming formulations for each of the following three strategies: the maxmin strategy where the worst possible competitor choice is considered, the minimum regret strategy, and the von Stackelberg strategy in which the competitor also optimises its market share.
