Dispersing obnoxious facilities on a graph

Data Structures and Algorithms 2018-11-26 v1

Abstract

We study a continuous facility location problem on a graph where all edges have unit length and where the facilities may also be positioned in the interior of the edges. The goal is to position as many facilities as possible subject to the condition that any two facilities have at least distance δ\delta from each other. We investigate the complexity of this problem in terms of the rational parameter δ\delta. The problem is polynomially solvable, if the numerator of δ\delta is 11 or 22, while all other cases turn out to be NP-hard.
