Fuzzy Programming Models for Minimax Location Problem

This paper discusses the minimax location problem with fuzzy locations of customers on a plane bounded by a convex polygon under a minmax criterion. Three types of fuzzy programming are presented for this problem according to different criteria, and Euclidean distances are assumed as the scenario. For solving the proposed models, a hybrid intelligent algorithm is designed.
