ABSTRACT
In chapter 4 mathematical programming models of residential location were introduced. Attention was focused on the Herbert-Stevens model and on variations of that model formulation. In this chapter the main discussion is of the TOPAZ model and its variants. Other formulations of mathematical programming models are also discussed. Numerical examples of TOPAZ and its variants are presented. Some mention is also made of the connection between a version of TOPAZ which incorporates locational dispersion and the combined location and assignment models which will be presented in chapter 8.
