The Assessment and Comparison of a Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing and Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm for Optimization of the Facility Location under Competitive Conditions (Case Study: Banks)

This paper determines the location of bank branches under competitive conditions with different attractive conditions. Finding an optimum location of branches depends on many factors and these problems are known as NP-hard problems. Despite being approximate methods, meta-heuristic algorithms seem s...
