Abstract: This paper presents a range of methods for computing the equilibrium configuration of shopping facility sizes. First, the presently available range of quasi-balancing factor methods is considered and built into a theoretical framework in which further algorithms may be defined. Then the use of the gradient method is considered, which is a general method of solution of nonlinear equations. Last, it is shown that a special case exists in which a closed form solution may be obtained.
