摘要

An extensive facility location problem in a network is concerned with the location of special types of subgraphs such as subtrees or paths and can be considered as a natural extension of the classical single facility location problem. In this paper, we consider the bi-objective combinatorial optimization problem of locating a path-shaped facility in a tree network, which minimizes the most common two criteria, namely the center criterion and the median criterion. To solve the problem, we use two forms of the \(\varepsilon \) ε -constraint method. This method converts the proposed bi-objective optimization problem to a series of single constraint optimization subproblems. In the considered problem, each subproblem is a cent-dian problem that can be solved in \(O(n\log n)\) O ( n log n ) time.
