A facility location problem in a mixed duopoly on networks

This paper studied a facility location problem (FLP) between a public firm and a private firm on a network space. Diverse situations are presented, and the corresponding mathematical for-mulations are modeled by implementing the optimization approach. The relationships between the models are then analyzed mathematically, showing the existence of complementarity and dominance. Considering the increasing interest in electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and the relevance to our models, computational experiments for a charging station location problem (CSLP) follow this in order to validate the presented models and verify the analyses. The trade-off between the stakeholders' objectives is demonstrated, providing policy implications for the public sector and managerial insights for private investors.
