A combinatorial algorithm for the 1-median problem in Rd with the Chebyshev norm
2010
We consider the 1-median problem in R^d with the Chebyshev norm: given n points with non-negative weights, find a point that minimizes the sum of the weighted distances to the given points. We propose a combinatorial algorithm for this problem by reformulating it as a fractional b-matching problem. This graph-theoretical problem can be solved by a min-cost-flow algorithm. Moreover, we show that there is a 1-median, which is half-integral, provided that the points have integral coordinates.
