Abstract

In this paper, an optimal algorithm to solve the continuous/discrete weighted 2-center problem is proposed. The method generalizes the "trimming" technique of Megiddo [5] in a nontrivial way, This result allows an improved O(n log n) time algorithm for the weighted 3-center and 4-center problems.
