Résumé : |
In weber's problem, which is concerned with finding the location of a firm with respect to its suppliers and its customers, one mostly uses Euclidean distances.
In a continuous space, the assumption of rectilinear distances permits simpler methods of finding the optimum solutions.
Sometimes, this assumption fits perfectly with reality.
Generally, the approximation is not worse than that of the Euclidean assumption.
In this report, methods of solving the rectilinear depot location are described.
Also, the implication of rotating the axes on the optimal location is considered.
A quadratic programming formulation of the problem was set as a means to solving such problems.
The location when dealing with skew axes is also considered. |
