Pelegrín, Blas A general approach to the 1-center problem. (English) Zbl 0615.90034 Cah. Cent. Étud. Rech. Opér. 28, 293-301 (1986). This paper studies the 1-center problem in general metric spaces. More specifically, properties of a lower bound proposed by P. M. Dearing and R. L. Francis [Transp. Sci. 8, 333-343 (1974)] are presented and a geometric algorithm is derived to solve some instances of the problem when the location space is \(R^ 2\) and the distance is measured by a block norm.
