Abstract

In this paper, we provide efficient algorithms for solving the weighted center problems in a cactus graph. In particular, an O(n log n) time algorithm is proposed that finds the weighted 1-center in a cactus graph, where n is the number of vertices in the graph. For the weighted 2-center problem, an O(n log 3n) time algorithm is devised for its continuous version and showed that its discrete version is solvable in O(n log2n) time. No such algorithm was previously known. The obnoxious center problem in a cactus graph can now be solved in O(n log 3n). This improves the previous result of O(cn) where c is the number of distinct vertex weights used in the graph [8]. In the worst case c is O(n).
