Abstract
Lowe and Hurter introduced the "generalized market area problem" of simultaneously determining production levels and distribution patterns at n plants to satisfy demand distributed over a subset of R k. Here we give simpler proofs and extensions of their results. We also show how the problem can be solved using unconstrained optimization techniques.programming: nonlinear algorithms, inventory/productionKeywords
