The inverse Fermat-Weber problem
Given n points in the plane with nonnegative weights, the inverse Fermat-Weber problem consists in changing the weights at minimum cost such that a prespecified point in the plane becomes the Euclidean 1-median. The cost is proportional to the increase or decrease of the corresponding weight. In case that the prespecified point does not coincide with one of the given n points, the inverse Ferma...
متن کاملOn the Continuous Fermat-Weber Problem
We give the first exact algorithmic study of facility location problems that deal with finding a median for a continuum of demand points. In particular, we consider versions of the “continuous k-median (Fermat-Weber) problem” where the goal is to select one or more center points that minimize the average distance to a set of points in a demand region. In such problems, the average is computed a...
متن کاملA modified Weiszfeld algorithm for the Fermat-Weber location problem
This paper gives a new, simple, monotonically convergent, algorithm for the Fermat-Weber location problem, with extensions covering more general cost functions.
متن کاملThe three-dimensional Fermat-Weber problem with Tchebychev distances
The three-dimensional Fermat-Weber facility location problem with Tchebychev distances is investigated. Expanding on previous research for the analogous two-dimensional problem, this study presents a new algorithm for solving the elusive three-dimensional case. The algorithm presented herein finds near optimal solutions in practical computational times. Some experimental results are also convey...
متن کاملOn Newton's Method for the Fermat-Weber Location Problem
This paper considers the Fermat-Weber location problem. It is shown that, after a suitable initialization, the standard Newton method can be applied to the Fermat-Weber problem and is globally and locally quadratically convergent. A numerical comparison with the popular Weiszfeld algorithm shows that Newton’s method is significantly more efficient than the Weiszfeld scheme.
