Revisiting several problems and algorithms in continuous location with lp norms

This paper addresses the general continuous single facility location problems in finite dimension spaces under possibly different ℓp norms in the demand points. We analyze the difficulty of this family of problems and revisit convergence properties of some well-known algorithms. The ultimate goal is...

Sumario:This paper addresses the general continuous single facility location problems in finite dimension spaces under possibly different ℓp norms in the demand points. We analyze the difficulty of this family of problems and revisit convergence properties of some well-known algorithms. The ultimate goal is to provide a common approach to solve the family of continuous ℓp ordered median location problems in dimension d (including of course the ℓp minisum or Fermat-Weber location problem for any p ≥ 1). We prove that this approach has a polynomial worse case complexity for monotone lambda weights and can be also applied to constrained and even non-convex problems.
