OPTIMAL LOCATIONS ON A NETWORK

Necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for optimal solutions to occur at nodes in the network are determined. The conditions include consideration of capacity constraints and the possibility that not all shipments are made via the 'shortest route.' Three sets of conditions under which it is necessary for an optimal solution to occur at a node are investigated. One set of conditions involves a production function characterization of the centers being loaded.
