Tourism generates huge amounts of waste. It has been estimated that about half of the waste generated by hotels is food and garden bio-waste. This bio-waste can be used to make compost and pellets. In turn, pellets can be used as an absorbent material in composters and as an energy source. In this paper, we consider the problem of locating composti...

We consider a tourist trip design problem with time windows and recommended occupancy levels at the points of interest. A 3-objective optimization model is formulated where the objectives are to maximize the total score and minimize total over occupancy and time gap. The multiobjective optimization problem is modeled as a mixed integer linear mathe...

The leader-follower problem is a sequential decision problem where, in a market initially without service centers, a firm, the leader, opens its centers and another competing firm, the follower, will enter later the market opening its centers. The leader chooses the locations taking into account that the follower will enter the market opening its c...

In the leader-follower, (r|p)-centroid or Stackelberg location problem, two players sequentially enter the market and compete to provide goods or services. This paper considers this competitive facility location problem in a discrete space. To solve it, the linear programming formulations for the leader and the follower are integrated into an algor...
Article
Many structural relationships should be taken into account in any reasonable adjustment and updating process. These structural relationships are mainly represented by ratios of different types, such as technical coefficients or the proportion of the cell value in relation to its row or column total. We believe that in many cases (either because of...
Chapter
We consider the leader-follower problem in a discrete space. We apply an algorithm which integrates the linear programming formulation of the problems for the leader and the follower and, in an iterative process, finds a solution by solving a sequence of these linear problems. We propose a matheuristic procedure where the problem of the leader is s...
Article
Full-text available
In this work we present an adjustment/updating procedure of Social Accounting Matrices (SAM) using multiobjective optimization techniques. The usual setting concentrates the adjustment effort in either the column or row coefficients of the SAM. The normal tendency consists in using the column coefficients because they better reflect the technical c...
Article
The (r|p)-centroid problem or leader-follower problem is generalized considering different customer choice rules where a customer may use facilities belonging to different firms, if the difference in travel distance (or time) is small enough. Assuming essential goods, some particular customer choice rules are analyzed. Linear programming formulatio...

Full-text available
The journal impact factor is not comparable among fields of science and social science because of systematic differences in publication and citation behaviour across disciplines. In this work, a source normalization of the journal impact factor is proposed. We use the aggregate impact factor of the citing journals as a measure of the citation poten...
Article
Full-text available
In this paper, the problem of determining the location and quality of new facilities in a network market is analyzed. Customers make their choice according to an attraction function, which is directly proportional to the facility quality level and decreasing with respect to the distance between customers and facilities. In order to solve the locati...
Article
Full-text available
Competitive location models and GIS are combined to build decision-aid tools in a franchise distribution system when a single facility has to be located in a continuous space. Several objectives are involved, which are sometimes in conflict, and a certain equilibrium among these objectives is desirable. Competitive location models are used to repre...
Article
Full-text available
We consider the (r|Xp)−medianoid problem in networks. Goods are assumed to be essential and the only decision criterion is the travel distance. The portion of demand captured by the competitors is modelled by a general capture function which includes the binary, partially binary and proportional customer choice rules as specific cases. We prove tha...

The (r|p)-centroid problem is a competitive location problem that consists of determining optimal strategies for two competing firms, the leader and the follower, which make decisions sequentially. We propose a particle swarm optimization procedure with two swarms to solve the discrete (r|p)-centroid problem. The proposed algorithm considers a swar...

In this paper, we have used a GIS based model to solve the planar Huff problem. Most of the papers connected with the competitive location problems consider that the demand is aggregated in a finite set of points. In this case, we have considered that the demand is distributed along the plane according to a surface model of population, that is, a r...

Full-text available
This paper presents a location–price equilibrium problem on a tree. A sufficient condition for having a Nash equilibrium in a spatial competition model that incorporates price, transport, and externality costs is given. This condition implies both competitors are located at the same point, a vertex that is the unique median of the tree. However, th...

In this paper a covering model for locating facilities with time-dependent demand is introduced. Not only the facility locations, but also the instants at which such facilities become operative, are considered as decision variables in order to determine the maximal-profit decision. Expressed as a mixed nonlinear integer program, structural properti...

Full-text available
In this research note, the follower location problem where the customers' choice is based on an attraction function is analysed. The attraction function depends on both the distance between customers and facilities, and the characteristics (quality) of the facilities. Customers at each node impose a minimum level of attraction in order to patronise...

Most of the competitive location problems assume essential services, which means that the total demand is allocated to the facilities operating in the market. This is a reasonable assumption for first order goods but not for services such as restaurants or cinemas which can be unused by consumers if, for example, the travel distance is large or the...

In this paper an extension of the (r|X p )-medianoid on networks introduced by Hakimi (1983) is studied. In this extension the customer considers not only the distance but some characteristics of the facilities such as store size, quality of service and parking space. A new firm wants to establishr new facilities which have to compete with thep fac...

We believe that any adjustment and updating process (AUP) should try to minimize the relative deviation of the new coefficients from the intial ones in a homogeneus way. This homogenity would mean that the magnitude of this relative deviation is similar among the elements of each row or column, therefor avoiding the concentration of the changes in...

A spatial competition model involving decisions made by consumers and firms is proposed. A regulating agent assigns the demand, taking into account the price, transport and externality cost, and minimizing the joint consumer cost to obtain a Pareto optimal allocation. Assuming the Pareto optimal allocation, firms fix prices in order to maximize the...

Most of spatial competition models assume firm decisions exclusively. In these models, customers choose the facility minimizing price plus transport cost. However, in markets with externalities, customer decisions are taken in relation to the behaviour of the rest of customers. In this paper, externality costs are considered, and customer decisions...
