Worst-case and Probabilistic Analysis of a Geometric Location Problem

We consider the problem of choosing K "medians" among n points on the Euclidean plane such that the sum of the distances from each of the n points to its closest median is minimized. We show that this problem is NP-complete. We also present two heuristics that produce arbitrarily good solu...
