Abstract: Research on covering has concentrated on problems where the facilities are small inrelation to their cover sets and can justifiably be regarded as points. However, representationby a point is not reasonable for all facilities. In this paper, our objective is to consider pathcovering problems and study them with particular emphasis on multi-path models. We introducea new problem, 2-MPSP, then formulate it and some of its variants. We also outlinetwo solution approaches for solving the 2-MPSP problem. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1998
