Abstract

Conventional facility location problems usually disperse facilities regardless of whether they are desirable. A recent variant emerged as the obnoxious facility dispersion problem that considers the clients influenced by the facilities. The only formulation for this problem is the obnoxious p-median problem, which resembles the p-median facility dispersion problem. Still, alternative models exist. This study presents and investigates several possible models for the obnoxious facility dispersion problem. Given that the models exhibit respective facility dispersion patterns, this study proposed to compare the models using the entropy of facility distribution.
