Abstract

This paper presents a new local search for solving the continuous p-median problem in the plane. The basic idea is to first find a good starting solution by overlaying the area containing the set of demand points with a grid and solving heuristically the location problem on this grid. The solution is then used as an initial point for running an improved version of Cooper's well-known alternating local search.
