“…Finding the best location for a new facility (or multiple facilities) in a continuous space using the gravity model objective is discussed in Drezner [17] and Drezner and Drezner [28] for the single-facility case, and in Drezner [19], Drezner et al [34] and Toth et al [85] for the location of multiple facilities.…”

“…Location of facilities on the nodes of a network was investigated in Aboolian et al [2]. Such a model in the plane was analyzed in Fernandez et al [47] and extended to sequential location of two facilities in Toth et al [85].…”

“…Toth et al [85] analyzed the improvement in the quality of the solution when two facilities are located sequentially rather than simultaneously. They compare three different strategies: simultaneous location and independent design of two facilities in the plane, simultaneous location with equal designs, and the sequential approach of determining each facility in turn.…”

“…For the location of multiple facilities in the plane, Drezner et al [34] suggested a hybrid between the generalized Weiszfeld algorithm and simulated annealing. Toth et al [85] used an interval branch and bound algorithm to solve the design and location of two facilities.…”

In this paper, we review competitive location models. Retail facilities operate in a competitive environment with an objective of profit and market share maximization. These facilities are different from each other in their overall attractiveness to consumers. The basic problem is the optimal location of one or more new facilities in a market where competition already exists or will exist in the future. Extensions to the models include an analysis of the optimal allocation of a budget among new facilities and their best locations, modeling location under conditions of uncertainty and future competition, incorporating the concept of a threshold in competitive location, modeling lost demand, and minimizing cannibalization.

“…Combining the location decision with the design (treating the attractiveness level of the facility as a variable) was recently investigated (Aboolian et al [1], Drezner [23], Fernandez et al [50], Plastria and Carrizosa [76], Toth et al [83]). …”

The gravity model as applied to competitive facility location is described in this tutorial. The gravity model is used mainly by marketers to estimate the market share attracted by competing retail facilities. A demand area consists of potential customers who spend their discretionary buying power at competing retail facilities. We discuss the gravity model and issues related to the determination of the parameters of the models. The basic model is to find the best locations for new facilities that would attract the maximum buying power from customers in the area. Extensions to this basic model include modeling uncertainty about future market conditions, minimizing the probability that the attracted market share falls short of a certain target, demand generated by intercepting a flow of customers, market expansion and lost demand, and allocation of a given budget among one's facilities to improve their attractiveness. We describe special tools that are utilized in the solution procedures. These are the generalized Weiszfeld procedure, the big triangle small triangle global optimization approach, and the tangent line approximation.
