Algorithms for Geometric Facility Location: Centers in a Polygon and Dispersion on a Line
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-24)We study three geometric facility location problems in this thesis. First, we consider the dispersion problem in one dimension. We are given an ordered list of (possibly overlapping) intervals on a line. We wish to choose ... -
Building Networks in the Face of Uncertainty
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-26)The subject of this thesis is to study approximation algorithms for some network design problems in face of uncertainty. We consider two widely studied models of handling uncertainties - Robust Optimization and Stochastic ... -
The Capacitated Matroid Median Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-18)In this thesis, we study the capacitated generalization of the Matroid Median Problem which is a generalization of the classical clustering problem called the k-Median problem. In the capacitated matroid median problem, ... -
Improved approximation guarantees for lower-bounded facility location problem
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-28)We consider the lower-bounded facility location (LBFL) problem (, also known as load-balanced facility location), which is a generalization of uncapacitated facility location (UFL) problem where each open facility is ... -
Mathematical Programming Formulations of the Planar Facility Location Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-24)The facility location problem is the task of optimally placing a given number of facilities in a certain subset of the plane. In this thesis, we present various mathematical programming formulations of the planar ...
