An optimal bifactor approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility location problem

Jaroslaw Byrka, Karen Aardal

We obtain a 1.5-approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility location problem (UFL), which improves on the previously best known 1.52-approximation algorithm by Ma…
