摘要

We consider the capacitated facility location problem with outliers when facility costs are uniform. Our main result is the first constant factor approximation for this problem. We give a local search algorithm that requires only 2 operations and is a 6.373 + \(\epsilon \) ϵ approximation. In developing this result we also improve the approximation guarantee of the capacitated facility location problem with uniform facility costs. Our local search algorithm is extremely simple to analyze and is a 3.733+ \(\epsilon \) ϵ - approximation thus improving on the 4-approximation of  Kao [2].
