Facility location and optimization problems have long been a central focus in operations research and applied mathematics, addressing the challenge of strategically placing facilities to serve a ...

Location problems in network optimisation investigate the optimal placement of facilities—be they emergency services, communication hubs or distribution centres—within a network to achieve objectives ...

The mathematical model is easy to understand, effective in application, relatively simple to solve, and outperforms the existing equitable location approaches. This model can also be easily extended ...
