In the paper, we consider the competitive facility location problem with limited choice rule (CFLPLCR), which attempts to open a subset of facilities to maximize the net profit of a newcomer company, requiring customers to patronize only a…
In this paper, we consider the multiple probabilistic covering location problem (MPCLP), which attempts to open a fixed number of facilities to maximize the total covered customer demand under a joint probabilistic coverage setting. We…
We study a competitive facility location problem (CFLP), where two firms sequentially open new facilities within their budgets, in order to maximize their market shares of demand that follows a probabilistic choice model. This process is a…
The soft capacitated facility location problem (SCFLP) is a classic combinatorial optimization problem, with its variants widely applied in the fields of operations research and computer science. In the SCFLP, given a set $\mathcal{F}$ of…
We study a competitive facility location problem, where customer behavior is modeled and predicted using a discrete choice random utility model. The goal is to strategically place new facilities to maximize the overall captured customer…
This paper introduces a new hierarchical facility location model with three levels: first-level facilities which manufacture different products, second-level facilities which act as warehouses and a third-level consisting of the clients who…
We study the extended version of the non-uniform, capacitated facility location problem with multiple fulfilment channels between the facilities and clients, each with their own channel capacities and service cost. Though the problem has…
This paper addresses the single-item single-stocking location stochastic lot sizing problem under the $(s, S) $ policy. We first present a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) formulation for determining near-optimal $(s, S)$ policy…
In this work, we introduce and study the $p$-$\alpha$-closest-center problem ($p\alpha$CCP), which generalizes the $p$-second-center problem, a recently emerged variant of the classical $p$-center problem. In the $p\alpha$CCP, we are given…
We consider a natural extension to the metric uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (FLP) in which requests ask for different commodities out of a finite set $S$ of commodities. Ravi and Sinha (SODA'04) introduced the model as the…
This article presents a matheuristic algorithm for the single-source capacitated facility location problem (SSCFLP) and its variants: SSCFLP with K facilities (SSCKFLP), SSCFLP with contiguous service areas (CFLSAP), and SSCFLP with K…
Facility and covering location models are key elements in many decision aid tools in logistics, supply chain design, telecommunications, public infrastructure planning, and many other industrial and public sectors. In many applications, it…
The bilevel facility location problem (BO-FLP) is one of the core optimization problems behind the design of many decentralized industrial systems, e.g., supply chain systems where a supplier constructs some critical facilities and then…
This paper presents a novel approach to solve capacitated facility location problems (FLP) that encompass various resource allocation problems. FLPs are a class of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, involving optimal placement and…
Sequential quadratic programming and sequential convex programming efficiently solve nonlinear programs (NLPs) by linearizing inner nonlinearities while preserving the outer convex structure. This paper introduces a sequential mixed-integer…
The Uncapacitated Facility Location (UFL) problem is one of the most fundamental clustering problems: Given a set of clients $C$ and a set of facilities $F$ in a metric space $(C \cup F, dist)$ with facility costs $open : F \to…
Dynamic facility location problems predominantly suppose a monopoly over the service or product provided. Nonetheless, this premise can be a severe oversimplification in the presence of market competitors, as customers may prefer facilities…
Security-Constrained Unit Commitment is a fundamental optimization problem in power systems operations. The primary computational bottleneck arises from the need to solve large-scale Linear Programming (LP) relaxations within…
This paper addresses the single-item single-stocking location non-stationary stochastic lot-sizing problem under a reorder point -- order quantity control strategy. The reorder points and order quantities are chosen at the beginning of the…
We study a pessimistic stochastic bilevel program in the context of sequential two-player games, where the leader makes a binary here-and-now decision, and the follower responds a continuous wait-and-see decision after observing the…
