Abstract

In a recent edition of this journal, Wesolowsky ( Trans. Sci. 6, 103--113) presents a formulation of a multifoxility minimax location problem for rectilinear distances as a parametric linear program. It is shown here that a modification of Wesolowsky's approach will result in a nonparametric linear program, and further, that a different approach to the problem will yield a simpler formulation as a smaller linear program.
