Abstract

This paper is dedicated to location problems on graphs. Wepropose a linear time algorithm for the 1-median problem on wheelgraphs. Moreover, some general results for the 1-median problem aresummarized and parametric median problems are investigated. Theseresults lead to a solution method for the 2-median problem oncactus graphs, i.e., on graphs where no two cycles have more thanone vertex in common. The time complexity of this algorithm isO(n2), where n is the number ofvertices of the graph.
