Abstract
In this paper we propose a new model of competitive facility location on a plain. We consider the two objectives that are maximization of reward for a firm and convenience of facility location for customers. We formulate the model as a single facility location problem under the condition that a competitive facility has been already located. We construct efficient algorithms to solve the problem, and give numerical experiments to illustrate our algorithms.
