Center location problems on tree graphs with subtree-shaped customers

We consider the p-center problem on tree graphs where the customers are modeled as continua subtrees. We address unweighted and weighted models as well as distances with and without addends. We prove that a relatively simple modification of Handler’s classical linear time algorithms for unweighted 1...

Sumario:We consider the p-center problem on tree graphs where the customers are modeled as continua subtrees. We address unweighted and weighted models as well as distances with and without addends. We prove that a relatively simple modification of Handler’s classical linear time algorithms for unweighted 1- and 2-center problems with respect to point customers, linearly solves the unweighted 1- and 2-center problems with addends of the above subtree customer model. We also develop polynomial time algorithms for the p-center problems based on solving covering problems and searching over special domains.
