On the fuzzy maximal covering location problem (1906.09161v2)

Abstract: In this paper studies the maximal covering location problem, assuming imprecise knowledge of all data involved. The considered problem is modeled from a fuzzy perspective producing suitable fuzzy Pareto solutions. Some properties of the fuzzy model are studied, which validate the equivalent mixed-binary linear multiobjective formulation proposed. A solution algorithm is developed, based on the augmented weighted Tchebycheff method, which produces solutions of guaranteed Pareto optimality. The effectiveness of the algorithm has been tested with a series of computational experiments, whose numerical results are presented and analyzed
