Multi-facility location problems in the presence of a probabilistic line barrier: a mixed integer quadratic programming model (original) (raw)

This research addresses multi-facility location problems affected by probabilistic line barriers, using a mixed integer quadratic programming approach. The study reviews existing methodologies in the area of facility location, particularly in scenarios involving barriers, and develops a new computational model that balances the proximity of facilities to customers while adhering to barrier constraints. The results demonstrate improvements in solution quality compared to previous methods, highlighting the significance of incorporating probabilistic elements into location planning.
