Abstract
We consider the 1.52 -approximation algorithm of Mahdian et al. for the metric uncapacitated facility location problem. We show that their algorithm does not close the gap with the lower bound on approximability, 1.463 , by providing a construction of instances for which its approximation ratio is not better than 1.494 .
