- Abstract
- The facility location problem is one of the most widely studied discrete location problems, whose applications arise in a variety of settings, such as routers or servers in a communication network, warehouses or distribution centres in a supply chain, hospitals or airports in a public service system. The problem involves locating a number of facilities to minimize the sum of the fixed setup costs and the variable costs of serving the market demand from these facilities. First a dual problem is developed for the facility location problem. Then general optimality conditions are also obtained, which generate sequences globally converging to a primal and dual solutions, respectively. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
