This article describes methods for finding an optimal location for a path-shaped or tree-shaped facility of a specified size in a tree network. Four optimization criteria are examined: minimizing distancesum, minimizing eccentricity, maximizing distancesum, and maximizing eccentricity.
In this note, we show that some problems related to the length of the longest simple path from a given vertex in a graph are NP-complete. We also discuss an extension to the graph coloring problem.
