We first show that a better analysis of the algorithm for The Two-Sage Stochastic Facility Location Problem from Srinivasan cite{sri07} and the algorithm for The Robust Fault Tolerant Facility Location Problem from Byrka et al cite{bgs10} can render
improved approximation factors of 2.206 and alpha+4 where alpha is the maximum number an adversary can close, respectively, and which are the best ratios so far. We then present new models for the soft-capacitated facility location problem with uncertainty and design constant factor approximation algorithms to solve them. We devise the stochastic and robust approaches to handle the uncertainty incorporated into the original model. Explicitly, in this paper we propose two new problem, named The 2-Stage Soft-Capacitated Facility Location Problem and The Robust Soft-Capacitated Facility Location Problem respectively, and present constant factor approximation algorithms for them both. Our method uses reductions between facility location problems and linear-cost models, the randomized thresholding technique of Srinivasan cite{sri07} and the filtering and clustering technique of Byrka et al cite{bgs10}.
