Abstract

Basic concepts of Graph Theory are discussed which are relevant to solving problems of locating economic activities within a service or manufacturing facility. The location problem is formulated in terms of Graph Theory knowledge and a solution procedure proposed. An example is provided and finally boundary conditions are elaborated.
