Fuzzy Genetic Algorithm for Uncapacitated P-Median Location Problem

In this paper a hybrid of genetic algorithm and fuzzy system is considered for solving Uncapacitated P-Median Location Problem (UPMLP). In this genetic algorithm a sexual selection is considered and a technique based on fuzzy system is introduced for controlling probability of crossover. In this fuzzy system two membership functions for each chromosome is considered. One membership function for minimizing the weighted average distance traveled from demand point to facility sites and other, for the amount of covering demand points by facilities
