Abstract: Center location problems have many applications, for example, in the public sector, and various different algorithms have been developed for their solution. This paper suggests a novel solution strategy to the problem that is based on the propagation of circular wavefronts. The approach is discussed theoretically and implemented both as a physical experiment and as a computer simulation. Copyright Springer Science + Business Media, Inc. 2005
