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...
The connected facility location (ConFL) problem generalizes the facility location problem and the Steiner tree problem in graphs. Given a graph G = (V, E), a set of customers D ⊆...
— A facility location problem deals with locating the best place for a group of facilities, among distinct demand points, minimizing a certain locational optimization function. I...
In the uncapacitated facility location problem, given a graph, a set of demands and opening costs, it is required to find a set of facilities R, so as to minimize the sum of the c...
