Inverse Quickest 1-Center Location Problem on Trees
摘要
This chapter investigates the inverse quickest 1-center (IQ1C) location problem on trees under different norms, focusing on modifying network capacities to optimize emergency response times. We first introduce optimality conditions for vertex and absolute quickest 1-center problems. Then we propose an \(O(n^2 \log n)\) algorithm for the inverse problem (IQ1C) under the weighted \(l_\infty \) norm and an \(O(n^3)\) algorithm under the weighted \(l_1\) norm. The algorithms ensure a designated vertex becomes the quickest 1-center, enhancing network performance for critical applications.
