Note--Solving the Generalized Market Area Problem

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<sup>k</sup>. Here we give simpler proofs and extensions of their results. We also show how the problem can be solved using unconstrained optimization techniques.
