An Approximation Algorithm for the Facility Location Problem with Lexicographic Minimax Objective
We present a new approximation algorithm to the discrete facility location problem providing solutions that are close to the lexicographic minimax optimum. The lexicographic minimax optimum is a concept that allows to find equitable location of facilities serving a large number of customers. The alg...
