In traditional facility location problems, a set of points is provided, and the objective is to determine the best location for a new facility based on criteria such as minimizing cost, time, and distances between clients and facilities.…
Optimal well placement and optimal well control are two important areas of study in oilfield development. Although the two problems differ in several respects, both are important considerations in optimizing total oilfield production, and…
In this paper we propose a new efficient linear programming based approach for multi-resource allocation and location problems in disaster management. Such problems require an integer solution and therefore, in most cases, the computations…
In this work, we study the extension of two variants of the facility location problem (FL) to make them robust towards a few distantly located clients. First, $k$-facility location problem ($k$FL), a common generalization of FL and $k$…
5G networks are going to support a variety of vertical services, with a diverse set of key performance indicators (KPIs), by using enabling technologies such as software-defined networking and network function virtualization. It is the…
Various operational optimization problems arise in cross-dock synchronization. The combination of the truck scheduling with other decision problems in cross-docking has been targeted by researchers in the recent years. In most of the truck…
The key of the post-disaster humanitarian logistics (PD-HL) is to build a good facility location and capacity planning (FLCP) model for delivering relief supplies to affected areas in time. To fully exploit the historical PD data, this…
We study a version of the metric facility location problem (or, equivalently, variants of the committee selection problem) in which we must choose $k$ facilities in an arbitrary metric space to serve some set of clients $C$. We consider…
We give the first exact algorithmic study of facility location problems that deal with finding a median for a continuum of demand points. In particular, we consider versions of the ``continuous k-median (Fermat-Weber) problem'' where the…
The facility location with strategic agents is a canonical problem in the literature on mechanism design without money. Recently, Agrawal et. al. considered this problem in the context of machine learning augmented algorithms, where the…
In many real-world optimization problems, more than one objective plays a role and input parameters are subject to uncertainty. In this paper, motivated by applications in disaster relief and public facility location, we model and solve a…
The Fault-Tolerant Facility Placement problem (FTFP) is a generalization of the classic Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (UFL). In FTFP we are given a set of facility sites and a set of clients. Opening a facility at site $i$ costs…
We investigate a location-allocation-routing problem where trucks deliver goods from a central production facility to a set of warehouses with fixed locations and known demands. Due to limited capacities congestion occurs and results in…
We consider the multi-item inventory lot-sizing problem with supplier selection. The problem consists of determining an optimal purchasing plan in order to satisfy dynamic deterministic demands for multiple items over a finite planning…
We consider the classic facility location problem in fully dynamic data streams, where elements can be both inserted and deleted. In this problem, one is interested in maintaining a stable and high quality solution throughout the data…
Every year, natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, hurricane and etc. impose immense financial and humane losses on governments owing to their unpredictable character and arise of emergency situations and consequently the reduction of…
In Facility Location problems there are agents that should be connected to facilities and locations where facilities may be opened so that agents can connect to them. We depart from Uncapacitated Facility Location and by assuming that the…
In this paper we propose an annealing based framework to incorporate inequality constraints in optimization problems such as facility location, simultaneous facility location with path optimization, and the last mile delivery problem. These…
Logistics network is expected that opened facilities work continuously for a long time horizon without any failure, but in real world problems, facilities may face disruptions. This paper studies a reliable joint inventory location problem…
A new variant of the classic capacitated facility location problem, which considers incompatibilities between customers, has recently been introduced in the literature. This problem captures the situation where given pairs of customers…
