We present different variants of that problem. We review special polynomial cases, determine the complexity of the problems and present mixed integer linear programming formulations, exact algorithms and heuristics. Several extensions are also reviewed.Englishp-CenterLocation in public sectorMinimax facility locationBook Chapter10.1007/978-3-319-13111-5_49783319131115
