Abstract

We consider single facility location problems with equity measures, defined on networks. The models discussed are, the variance, the sum of weighted absolute deviations, the maximum weighted absolute deviation, the sum of absolute weighted differences, the range, and the Lorenz measure. We review the known algorithmic results and present improved algorithms for some of these models.
