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...
In the incremental versions of Facility Location and k-Median, the demand points arrive one at a time and the algorithm must maintain a good solution by either adding each new dema...
Facility Location can be seen as a whole family of problems which have many obvious applications in economics. They have been widely explored in the Operations Research community, ...
A fundamental facility location problem is to choose the location of facilities, such as industrial plants and warehouses, to minimize the cost of satisfying the demand for some c...
