Abstract

We show that the facility location problem with uniform hard capacities can be solved by the Ageev’s algorithm in \(O(m^3n^2)\) time, where m is the number of facilities and n is the number of clients. This improves the results \(O(m^5 n^2)\) of Ageev in 2004 and \(O(m^4n^2)\) of Ageev, Gimadi, and Kurochkin in 2009.
