“…Drezner et al [38,39] introduced the cover-based approach to estimating market share. Each competing facility has a ''sphere of influence'' [77] represented by a radius of influence which depends on the attractiveness of the facility.…”

“…In Drezner et al [39], three models are analyzed: (1) increasing the radius of influence of existing facilities thereby increasing their attractiveness, (2) adding new facilities (and determining the radius of influence of each), and (3) a combination of both. All these expansions have a defined cost and the best expansion strategy for a given budget is found.…”

“…All models discussed above, with the exception of the cover-based competitive model [38,39], assume that the entire demand is distributed among the competing facilities. For non-essential services, some of the demand may not be satisfied.…”

In this paper, we review competitive location models. Retail facilities operate in a competitive environment with an objective of profit and market share maximization. These facilities are different from each other in their overall attractiveness to consumers. The basic problem is the optimal location of one or more new facilities in a market where competition already exists or will exist in the future. Extensions to the models include an analysis of the optimal allocation of a budget among new facilities and their best locations, modeling location under conditions of uncertainty and future competition, incorporating the concept of a threshold in competitive location, modeling lost demand, and minimizing cannibalization.

“…To date, few researches have been done on the locationdesign problem with an unknown number of new facilities (Aboolian et al 2007;Drezner et al 2012;Küçükaydin and Aras 2011;Küçükaydin et al 2012). Aboolian et al (2007) solved the location-design problem in which the demand was assumed to be elastic.…”

“…Aboolian et al (2007) solved the location-design problem in which the demand was assumed to be elastic. In Drezner et al (2012), the authors used the cover approach for customer patronizing behavior, and the branch and bound procedure for obtaining the optimal strategy of improving existing and establishing new facilities. In Küçükaydin and Aras (2011) and Küçükaydin et al (2012), location-design problem has been solved for profit maximization objective in the leader-follower case under the condition that the number of new facilities is not fixed.…”

This paper aims at determining the optimal number of new facilities besides specifying both the optimal location and design level of them under the budget constraint in a competitive environment by a novel hybrid continuous and discrete firefly algorithm. A real-world application of locating new chain stores in the city of Tehran, Iran, is used and the results are analyzed. In addition, several examples have been solved to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed model and algorithm. The results demonstrate that the performed method provides good-quality results for the test problems.

In this paper we propose and solve a competitive facility location model when demand is continuously distributed in an area and each facility attracts customers within a given distance. This distance is a measure of the facility's attractiveness level which may be different for different facilities. The market share captured by each facility is calculated by two numerical integration methods. These approaches can be used for evaluating functional values in other operations research models as well. The single facility location problem is optimally solved by the big triangle small triangle global optimization algorithm and the multiple facility problem is heuristically solved by the Nelder‐Mead algorithm. Extensive computational experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the solution approaches.
