6. In the linearization of rectilinear facility location problem, ……. additional dummy variable and………. additional dummy constraints are used for each absolute term exists in the formulation.

Answer 1

1. In a location analysis, a factor that is measured and quantified exactly is called a Pearson correlation coefficient.

2. The    parametric    method    solves concave single-facility    location    problems    with Euclidean distances and linear objective function.

3. The Euclidean distance is always smaller the rectilinear distance between any given two points.

4. The flow-path distance between (0,0) and (3,4) greater than or equal to 5 units distance.

Distance=√(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2

√(3−0)2+(4−0)2= 5

5. In the linearization of rectilinear facility location problem, independent additional dummy variable and explanatory additional dummy constraints are used for each absolute term exists in the formulation.
