In the $ k $-facility location problem, an important combinatorial optimization problem combining the classical facility location and $ k $-median problems, we are given the locations of some facilities and clients, and need to open at most $ k $ facilities and connect all clients to opened facilities, minimizing the facility opening and connection cost. This paper considers the squared metric $ k $-facility location problem with linear penalties, a robust version of the $ k $-facility location problem. In this problem, we do not have to connect all clients to facilities, but each client that is not served by any facility must pay a penalty cost. The connection costs of facilities and clients are supposed to be squared metric, which is more general than the metric case. We provide a constant approximation algorithm based on the local search scheme with add, drop, and swap operations for this problem. Furthermore, we improve the approximation ratio by using the scaling technique.

Keywords: Approximation algorithm, local search, $ k $-facility location problem, linear penalties, squared metric.
