Efficient Points in Location Problems.
Abstract
Much of the literature involving locating one or more new facilities in the plane is concerned with minimizing a single objective function. In this paper the authors consider the problem of generating the efficient set of locations for a single facility where it is important that the facility be located as close as possible to each of a number of existing facilities whose locations are known. They concentrate on the notion of distance commonly referred to as the (l sub 1) norm, the Manhattan norm, or the city-block norm but results for other norms are given also. They develop properties of the efficient set and present two separate procedures for generating the efficient set.
