Abstract

Resource location has become a fundamental question to be answered in the day today life. It has found its place in the life for over hundred years from the smallest application like where to locate any electric appliance in a kitchen to opening a new departmental store by a company. Depending upon the context in which the location model is being used, various objective functions may be designed while main features will always remain same [1]. Here in this paper, we have studied the continuous resource location model where competing resources are already known to exist in the system under study. The newly located resources compete for its share of customer demands with the pre-existing resources in the system and with each other also [2]. The paper also discusses how the applications of computational geometry relate to this spatial problem.
