A competitive location model of logistics distribution center,whose core is how to reap maximum market share is adopted as the target function,is introduced on the basis of analyzing its characteristic.For this model is a complicated function optimization problem with the characteristics of high-dimension,non-linear,non-convexity,a large number of local optima and so on,it is very diffcult for the deterministic optimization methods to attain the optimal or nearly optimal solutions.So,a new heuristic algorithm-clonal selection algorithm is proposed for solving this model,and the method and process of clonal selection algorithm for this problem is described in detail.Numerical simulations show that it is feasible and efficient to apply clonal selection algorithm on the problem of competitive location of logistics distribution center,and it has the characteristic of rapider convergence,more poweful global search capability and better stability.
