An Overview of Representative Problems in Location Research
综述了区位研究中50多个代表性问题的模型构建与相互关系,涵盖中位数、中心、仓库选址等经典问题及近年新问题,适合运筹学与区位理论研究者快速了解领域全貌。
We present a survey of over 50 representative problems in location research. Our goal is not to review all variants of different location models or to describe solution results, but rather to provide a broad overview of major location problems that have been studied, indicating briefly how they are formulated and how they relate to one another. We review standard problems such as median, center, and warehouse location problems, as well as less traditional location problems which have emerged in recent years. Our primary focus is on problems for which operations research-type models have been developed. Most of the problems we review have been formulated as optimization problems.
