This paper introduces a novel problem of facility location, called the p-next center problem with capacity and coverage radius constraints. We formulate a mixed integer programming model for this problem, and compare the results found by CPLEX with …

The p-next center problem is an extension of the classical p-center problem, in which a backup center must be assigned to welcome users from a suddenly unavailable center. Usually, users tend to seek help in the closest facility they can find. …
