Asymptotic of an optimal location problem

Bouchitte, G; Jimenez, C; Rajesh, M

Abstract

We consider the problem of optimal location of production centres to serve a non-uniform distribution of customers. The location is required to be optimal with respect to the cost of transportation which is modeled by a weighted average of the distance function to the nearest production centre. In this Note we study the asymptotic behaviour of the problem as the number of production centres increases. This is done in connection with the theory of Monge-Kantorovich for mass transportation.
