Abstract

Our paper studies a fair stochastic facility location problem with congestion under the max-min principle. We analyze the price of fairness in a two-location problem and develop a tractable optimization framework for the general multi-location setting. Evaluating the fair solution against the utilitarian solution on Buffalo's demographic data reveals that implementing a fair solution can substantially improve fairness measures (up to 98%) with relatively limited impact on the overall service quality.

公平享用公共服务设施

我们的论文研究了在最大最小原则下有拥堵的公平随机设施位置问题。我们分析了两地问题中的公平代价，并为一般多地问题制定了可操作的优化框架。根据水牛城的人口数据，将公平解决方案与功利解决方案进行对比评估，结果表明，实施公平解决方案可大幅提高公平性（高达 98%），而对整体服务质量的影响相对有限。

期刊介绍： Operations Research Letters is committed to the rapid review and fast publication of short articles on all aspects of operations research and analytics. Apart from a limitation to eight journal pages, quality, originality, relevance and clarity are the only criteria for selecting the papers to be published. ORL covers the broad field of optimization, stochastic models and game theory. Specific areas of interest include networks, routing, location, queueing, scheduling, inventory, reliability, and financial engineering. We wish to explore interfaces with other fields such as life sciences and health care, artificial intelligence and machine learning, energy distribution, and computational social sciences and humanities. Our traditional strength is in methodology, including theory, modelling, algorithms and computational studies. We also welcome novel applications and concise literature reviews.
