Abstract: The influence factors of sensor location problem(SLP) were proposed and their mathematical formulations were got.Based on maximum integration value model(MIVM),the simple MIVM-based model and its algorithm were introduced to study the influence patterns for SLP.Numerical results show that the proposed model can illuminate the interaction of SLP and its influence factors,and it can intuitively analyze the influence pattern for those factors.According to the distribution and trend of those two-dimensional discrete points of the optimal SLP with some factor changing,the influencing mechanism between those factors with the maximum integrated value and the optimal sensor number was proclaimed,so the countermeasure could be proposed to keep the SLP with optimal status when some factor was changing.
