Abstract

We consider the problem of optimally locating a given number kk of points in Rn{\mathbb R}^n for an integral cost function which takes into account two measures φ+\varphi^+ and φ\varphi^-. The points represent for example new industrial facilities that have to be located, the measure φ+\varphi^+ representing in this case already existing industries that want to be close to the new ones, and φ\varphi^- representing private citizens who want to stay far away. The asymptotic analysis as kk\to\infty is performed, providing the asymptotic density of optimal locations.
