We present e cient algorithms for several instances of the following facility location problem. Facilities and demand sites are represented as points in the plane. Place k obnoxio...
Garg [10] gives two approximation algorithms for the minimum-cost tree spanning k vertices in an undirected graph. Recently Jain and Vazirani [16] discovered primal-dual approxima...
The Reverse Greedy algorithm (RGREEDY) for the k-median problem works as follows. It starts by placing facilities on all nodes. At each step, it removes a facility to minimize the...

including the one proposed in [5]. Minieka showed that all the eight problems can be solved in polynomial time except the one of finding the maximum distancesum tree of a specified...
