The objective of facility location models is to maximize the profit or minimize the cost of a
company that wishes to expand or enter the market. The market share captured by facilities …

The aim of location models is to find optimal location for one or more new facilities with a
specific objective such as total cost minimization, overall profit maximization, etc. Location …

In this paper we investigate a leader–follower (Stackelberg equilibrium) competitive location
model. The competitive model is based on the concept of cover. Each facility attracts …

Shared parking firms offer a double-sided platform for parking space sharing. Many of these
firms provide differentiated service levels to both suppliers and buyers. This new …

The classical probabilistic choice rule assumes that customers patronize all the existing
facilities. As this assumption may not be appropriate in some cases, in this paper a variant is …

In solar power tower plants, knowing the optical quality of heliostats makes it possible to
predict relevant information on the receiver surface, such as the irradiance concentration …

This paper deals with cooperative competition in facility location problems in which potential
players (investors) are in competition (or conflict) over acquiring suitable sites and clients. In …

I dedicate this chapter to my husband, Zvi Drezner, who has been the inspiration for my
work. As a Ph. D. student in Urban Planning, I was looking for a topic for my dissertation …

We study a new competitive multi-facility location and quality design problem in a
continuous space. The facility location and quality design are considered together because …

This work compares different algorithms to replace the genetic optimizer used in a recent
methodology for creating realistic and computationally efficient neuron models. That method …
