Abstract

A method previously devised for the solution of the p‐center problem on a network has now been extended to solve the analogous minimax location‐allocation problem in continuous space. The essence of the method is that we choose a subset of the n points to be served and consider the circles based on one, two, or three points. Using a set‐covering algorithm we find a set of p such circles which cover the points in the relaxed problem (the one with m
