Optimal location problems with routing costGiuseppe Buttazzo (Universita` di Pisa)
In the presentation, a model problem for the location of a given number
Ν of points in a given region Ω and with a given resources
density ρ(x) is considered. The difference is here that in addition
to the usual location cost an extra "routing cost" is considered, that
takes into account the fact that the resources have to travel between the
locations on a point-to-point basis. The limit problem as Ν→ ∞ is
characterized and some applications to airfreight systems are shown.
