Abstract: | We consider the following basic search path problem: a customer residing at a node of a network needs to obtain service from one of the facilities; facility locations are known and fixed. Facilities may become inoperational with certain probability; the state of the facility only becomes known when the facility is visited. Customer travel stops when the first operational facility is found. The objective is to minimize the expected total travel distance. |
