Abstract

We consider a generalized version of the (weighted) one-center problem on graphs. Given an undirected graph G of n vertices and m edges and a positive integer k≤n, the problem aims to find a point on G so that the maximum (weighted) distance from it to k connected vertices on its shortest path tree(s) is minimized. No previous work has been proposed for this problem except for the case k=n, that is, the classical graph one-center problem. In this paper, an O(mnlognlogmn+m2lognlogmn)-time algorithm is proposed for the weighted case, and an O(mnlogn)-time algorithm is presented for the unweighted case, provided that the distance matrix is given. When G is a tree graph, we give an O(nlog2nlogk)-time algorithm for the weighted case and improve it to O(nlog2n) for the unweighted case.
