Book Synopsis Contributions to Location Analysis by : H. A. Eiselt
Download or read book Contributions to Location Analysis written by H. A. Eiselt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a volume in honor of Zvi Drezner’s 75th birthday. Professor Drezner is a leading scholar in location science. He received his BSc degree in Mathematics in 1965 and his PhD. in Computer Science ten years later, both from the Technion in Haifa, Israel. Since 1978 he has published in excess of 300 papers in refereed journals and books. He has received many honors, among them the University Outstanding Professor in 2005-6, the Outstanding Research Award (both from Cal State-Fullerton), the Location Analysis Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Location Analysis, and was named a Lifetime Fellow in INFORMS.Zvi has worked in a variety of fields, but most prominently in continuous location models. His main contributions include a 1982 paper on competitive location analysis, which was the first contribution to formally use the von Stackelberg “leader-follower” concept in the plane, contributions in 1989 (along with many others) on the Weber problem, and work with Oded Berman on the p-median under uncertainty in 2008. He has also enriched the literature by many contributions that devise genetic algorithms and tabu search techniques (both heuristic algorithms), as well as global optimization techniques, such as the “big-triangle-small-triangle” method, applied to location problems.The chapters of the book have been chosen to provide readers with a large variety of topics in the field of location science, which normally are available only in many different specialist journals. In addition to easily approachable surveys, the contributions, written by the top specialists in the field, present the latest results as well.
Book Synopsis Foundations of Location Analysis by : H. A. Eiselt
Download or read book Foundations of Location Analysis written by H. A. Eiselt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-13 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Location analysis has matured from an area of theoretical inquiry that was designed to explain observed phenomena to a vibrant field which can be and has been used to locate items as diverse as landfills, fast food outlets, gas stations, as well as politicians and products in issue and feature spaces. Modern location science is dealt with by a diverse group of researchers and practitioners in geography, economics, operations research, industrial engineering, and computer science. Given the tremendous advances location science has seen from its humble beginnings, it is time to look back. The contributions in this volume were written by eminent experts in the field, each surveying the original contributions that created the field, and then providing an up-to-date review of the latest contributions. Specific areas that are covered in this volume include: • The three main fields of inquiry: minisum and minimax problems and covering models • Nonstandard location models, including those with competitive components, models that locate undesirable facilities, models with probabilistic features, and problems that allow interactions between facilities • Descriptions and detailed examinations of exact techniques including the famed Weiszfeld method, and heuristic methods ranging from Lagrangean techniques to Greedy algorithms • A look at the spheres of influence that the facilities generate and that attract customers to them, a topic crucial in planning retail facilities • The theory of central places, which, other than in mathematical games, where location science was born
Book Synopsis Applications of Location Analysis by : H. A. Eiselt
Download or read book Applications of Location Analysis written by H. A. Eiselt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, companion to Foundations of Location Analysis (Springer, 2011), highlights some of the applications of location analysis within the spheres of businesses, those that deal with public services and applications that deal with law enforcement and first responders. While the Foundations book reviewed the theory and first contributions, this book describes how different location techniques have been used to solve real problems. Since many real problems comprise multiple objectives, in this book there is more presence of tools from multicriteria decision making and multiple-objective optimization. The section on business applications looks at such problems as locating bank branches, the potential location of a logistics park, sustainable forest management and layout problems in a hospital, a much more difficult type of problem than mere location problems. The section on public services presents chapters on the design of habitats for wildlife, control of forest fires, the location of intelligent sensors along highways for timely emergency response, locating breast cancer screening centers, an economic analysis for the locations of post offices and school location. The final section of the book includes chapters on the well-known problem of locating fire stations, a model for the location of sensors for travel time information, the problem of police districting, locations of jails, location of Coast Guard vessels and finally, a survey of military applications of location analysis throughout different periods of recent history.
Book Synopsis Location Theory and Decision Analysis by : Yupo Chan
Download or read book Location Theory and Decision Analysis written by Yupo Chan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-26 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employing state-of-the art quantitative models and case studies, Location Theory and Decision Analysis provides the methodologies behind the siting of such facilities as transportation terminals, warehouses, housing, landfills, state parks and industrial plants. Through its extensive methodological review, the book serves as a primer for more advanced texts on spatial analysis, including the monograph on Location, Transport and Land-Use by the same author. Given the rapid changes over the last decade, the Second Edition includes new analytic contributions as well as software survey of analytics and spatial information technology. While the First Edition served the professional community well, the Second Edition has substantially expanded its emphasis for classroom use of the volume. Extensive pedagogic materials have been added, going from the fundamental principles to open-ended exercises, including solutions to selected problems. The text is of value to engineering and business programs that offer courses in Decision and Risk Analysis, Muticriteria Decision-Making, and Facility Location and Layout. It should also be of interest to public policy programs that use geographic Information Systems and satellite imagery to support their analyses.

Book Synopsis The General Theory of Location and Its Applicability to a Specific Situation by : Donald B. Fillinger
Download or read book The General Theory of Location and Its Applicability to a Specific Situation written by Donald B. Fillinger and published by . This book was released on 1958 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study deals with the problem of location from two related aspects; first, it presents the development of the theory of location from its origin through the recent literature and second, it illustrates the kind of supplementary considerations which are necessary to make the elaborate system of strategic factors applicable to an actual case. Using the famous model of Thuenen's locational distribution of agricultural activity as a starting point, the study presents a systematic survey of the major contributions of location theory. The analytical framework gained in this way serves as a foundation for evaluating such empirical work as is developed in the recent literature. The insight revealed through the combination of these two methods provides us with a set of meaningful analytical tools for dealing with location problems. As a test of these tools attention is directed toward a specific case in complex historical and environmental circumstances. This case will illustrate the principles involved in locational analysis and will suggest modifications to be made in the general theory as applied to concrete examples. Thus, our approach has two implications: it shows the importance of a theoretical framework for the analysis and it makes the conclusions more realistic and reliable.

Book Synopsis Locational Analysis of Public Facilities by : Jacques-François Thisse
Download or read book Locational Analysis of Public Facilities written by Jacques-François Thisse and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1983 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concern of economists and location theorists for the problem of public facility location is growing rapidly. The present collection of essays aims to provide an overview of the problem both from the perspective of economic theory and operations research. A study of some basic ingredients of a public space theory and one on the main tools for spatial decision-making are offered. This is reflected in the content of the book, which is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the theory of local public goods and with public decision-making procedures in the spatial context. A survey of the current literature on local public goods is proposed and contributed papers follow which are devoted to particular aspects or to a critical discussion of the main approaches. Voting procedures in a spatial context are reviewed and extended. Then follows an application of planning theory to public goods in space. The second part is relative to the operational analysis of locational decisions in the public sector. The major models and methods are reviewed; their computational efficiency is reported on and some of their fundamental properties are discussed. Location-allocation models are analyzed and criticized from the welfare economics standpoint and some suggestions are made for future research. The book addresses a large audience, including economists, regional scientists, operations researchers and geographers interested in the theory of public space and spatial planning.

Download or read book Proof Analysis written by Sara Negri and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book continues from where the authors' previous book, Structural Proof Theory, ended. It presents an extension of the methods of analysis of proofs in pure logic to elementary axiomatic systems and to what is known as philosophical logic. A self-contained brief introduction to the proof theory of pure logic is included that serves both the mathematically and philosophically oriented reader. The method is built up gradually, with examples drawn from theories of order, lattice theory and elementary geometry. The aim is, in each of the examples, to help the reader grasp the combinatorial behaviour of an axiom system, which typically leads to decidability results. The last part presents, as an application and extension of all that precedes it, a proof-theoretical approach to the Kripke semantics of modal and related logics, with a great number of new results, providing essential reading for mathematical and philosophical logicians.
