Abstract

This paper investigates a new variation in the continuous single facility location problem. Specifically, we address the problem of locating a new facility on a plane with different distance norms on different sides of a boundary line. Special cases and extensions of the problem, where there are more than two regions are also discussed. Finally, by investigating the properties of the models, efficient solution procedures are proposed.
