Development of a Nonlinear Integer Optimization Model for Tenant Mix Layout in a Shopping Centre

Table 3

Matching principle of area and level.

Area setting	Area range	Brand level of store
Small stores	S(f,x,y) < 0.05G	3, 4, 5
Medium stores	0.05G ≤ S(f,x,y) < 0.1G	2, 3, 4, 5
Large stores	S(f,x,y) ≥ 0.1G and S(f,x,y) ≠ max(s)	2, 3, 4
	0.1G ≤ S(f,x,y) < 0.25G and S(f,x,y) is ≠ max(s)	2, 3, 4
	S(f,x,y) ≥ 0.25G and S(f,x,y) = max(s)	1, 2
