Abstract:The well-known multi-facility Weber problem (MFWP) is one of fundamental models in facility location. With the aim of enhancing the practical applicability of MFWP, this paper considers a generalized multi-facility Weber problem (GMFWP), where the gauge is used to measure distances and the locational constraints are imposed to new facilities. This paper focuses on developing efficient numerical methods based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to solve GMFWP. Specifically, GMFWP is equivalent… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
