The directional p
An instance of a p-median problem gives n demand points. The objective is to locate p supply points in order to minimize the total distance of the demand points to their nearest s...

Worst-case analysis of demand point aggregation for the Euclidean p-median problem
Solving large-scale p-median problems is usually time consuming. People often aggregate the demand points in a large-scale p-median problem to reduce its problem size and make it ...

A fast swap-based local search procedure for location problems
We present a new implementation of a widely used swap-based local search procedure for the p-median problem, proposed in 1968 by Teitz and Bart. Our method produces the same outpu...

Efficient Algorithms for Centers and Medians in Interval and Circular-Arc Graphs
The p-center problem is to locate p facilities on a network so as to minimize the largest distance from a demand point to its nearest facility. The p-median problem is to locate p ...

A hybrid evolutionary algorithm for the p-median problem
A hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA) for the p-median problem consist of two stages, each of which is a steady-state hybrid EA. These EAs encode selections of medians as subsets o...
