Genetic algorithm approach in solving minisum facility location problem with fixed line barrier
Facility location problem is a field of study in Operational Research that required in considering locating a facility or a set of new facilities on the plane to serve a finite set of existing demand points. A facility location problem usually formulated as a minimization or maximization problem wit...
