โœฆ Synopsis

An effective heuristic for determining plant locations and shipments to customers is described. It is assumed that there are a discrete number of possible locations and that the demand at each destination is a random variable. Thus the problem is to minimize expected holding and shortage costs, in addition to linear shipping costs and fixed costs of construction.

The algorithm uses dual variables to guide the determination of whether each plant should be opened or not.

## Abstract A dual boundary integral equation (BIE) formulation is presented for the analysis of general 3โ€D electrostatic problems, especially those involving thin structures. This dual BIE formulation uses a linear combination of the conventional BIE and hypersingular BIE on the entire boundary o
