The 1-Center and 1-Highway problem

Computational Geometry 2012-05-10 v1

Abstract

We study a variation of the 1-center problem in which, in addition to a single supply facility, we are allowed to locate a highway. This highway increases the transportation speed between any demand point and the facility. That is, given a set SS of points and v>1v>1, we are interested in locating the facility point ff and the highway hh that minimize the expression maxpSdh(p,f)\max_{p\in S}d_{h}(p,f), where dhd_h is the time needed to travel between pp and ff. We consider two types of highways ({\em freeways} and {\em turnpikes}) and study the cases in which the highway's length is fixed by the user (or can be modified to further decrease the transportation time).
