Location-allocation problems

Abstract

The paper considers various location-allocation problems arising in the process of strategic planning of regional development. Thus, the problems are attractive for both commercial and state-owned companies. Process of such problems formation and development has been analyzed. Their classification depending upon demand, the number of product types, objects to be located, and type of range where their location takes place has been shown. General statement has been formulated; basic mathematical models of location-allocation problems have been demonstrated. Both methods and approaches for such problems solving have been described. Particular attention has been paid to infinite-dimensional locationallocation problems, i.e. to continuous problems of optimum set separation. In the context of the problems, the range in which objects are located, is a certain set continuously filled with consumers (or manufacturers) of specific product. Connection of optimum set separation problems with multistage location-allocation problems is considered separately in terms of two-stage problem. Mathematical model of multistage location problem being a combination of discrete location problem (as one of the stages) and a problem of optimum set separation is demonstrated. Their features and difficulties arising in the process of combined types of problem solution have been emphasized. Relevant research policy has been determined.
