Facility location via continuous optimization with discontinuous objective functions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 February 2009
Abstract
Facility location problems are one of the most common applications of optimization methods. Continuous formulations are usually more accurate, but often result in complex problems that cannot be solved using traditional optimization methods. This paper examines theuse of a global optimization method—AGOP—for solving location problems where the objective function is discontinuous. This approach is motivated by a real-world application in wireless networks design.
