Location models commonly represent demand as discrete points rather than as continuously spread over an area. This modeling technique introduces inaccuracies to the objective function and consequently to the optimal location solution. In this article this inaccuracy is investigated by the study of a
We study generalizations of classical multifacility location problems, where customers' demand has a hierarchial structure, i.e., the set of local customers is partitioned into categories (global customers), each having its own requirements for quality of service. For the case of identical facilitie
## Abstract This paper investigates the 1βminimax and 1βmaximin problems when demand weights are random variables with general continuous probability distributions. Properties of the optimal solutions are presented and solution procedures are developed. We also identify some known probability distr
