We introduce a problem that is a common generalization of the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) and minimum latency (ML) problems, where facilities not only need to be opened ...
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
