Uncapacitated facility location problem with self-serving demands

In classical uncapacitated facility location problems (UFLP) the goal is to satisfy requirements of some demand points by setting up some servers, among potential facility locations, such that the total cost including service costs and fixed costs are minimized. In this paper a generalization of UFL...
