Abstract

In this article, we investigate the dynamic (multi-period) facility location problem with potentially unserved clients or outliers. We propose a 3-approximation primal-dual algorithm based on an integer linear program formulation of the problem. We further improve the approximation ratio to 2 by combining the cost scaling and greedy improvement techniques.
