We consider the k-level stochastic facility location problem. For this, we present an LP rounding algorithm that is 3-approximate. This result is achieved by a novel integer linear programming formulation that exploits the stochastic structure.
We propose a 2-approximation algorithm for a facility location problem with stochastic demands. At open facilities, inventory is kept such that arriving requests find a zero inventory with (at most) some pre-specified probability. Costs incurred are expected transportation costs, facility operating
