Abstract

Facility location problems in the plane are among the most widely used tools of Mathematical Programming in modeling real‐world problems. In many of these problems restrictions have to be considered which correspond to regions in which a placement of new locations is forbidden. We consider center and median problems where the forbidden set is a union of pairwise disjoint convex sets. As applications we discuss the assembly of printed circuit boards, obnoxious facility location and the location of emergency facilities. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
