approximating logistics optimization problems by treating demand and facilities as smooth densities, giving simple formulas for distance and cost.

In freight and logistics, continuum approximation refers to approximating logistics optimization problems by treating demand and facilities as smooth densities, giving simple formulas for distance and cost. This meaning comes from Newell (1973) in SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics.[1]
