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 …

This paper presents game-theoretical models based on a continuous approximation (CA)
scheme to optimize service facility location design under spatial competition and facility …

This chapter first provides a review of the foundations of competitive location models. It then
traces subsequent developments through time under special consideration of customer …

This paper presents a simple model to determine the location strategies of two retail firms
planning to open a number of stores in a geographical market. Firms try to maximize their …

We consider facility location problems where n facilities are present in a convex polygon in
the rectilinear plane, over which continuous and uniform demand is distributed and within …

We consider a game where a finite number of retailers choose a location, given that their
potential consumers are distributed on a network. Retailers do not compete on price but only …

We study competitive location problems in a continuous setting, in which facilities have to be
placed in a rectangular domain R of normalized dimensions of 1 and ρ≥ 1, and distances …

The impact of transportation networks on the location of human activities is a surprisingly
neglected topic in economic geography. Using the simple plant location problem, this paper …

We consider facility location problems where the demand is continuously and uniformly
distributed over a convex polygon with m vertices in the rectilinear plane, n facilities are …

We extend a model of spatial competition (Hotelling, 1929) to graphs where consumers are
uniformly distributed on the edges. Firms can choose locations anywhere on the graph, not …
