Abstract

Efficient algorithms for solving the center problems in weighted cactus networks are presented. In particular, we have proposed the following algorithms for the weighted cactus networks of size n: an O(nlogn) time algorithm to solve the 1-center problem, and an O(nlog^3n) time algorithm to solve the weighted continuous 2-center problem. We have also provided improved solutions to the general p-center problems in cactus networks. The developed ideas are then applied to solve the obnoxious 1-center problem in weighted cactus networks.
