โฆ Synopsis
The p-center problem involves finding the best locations for p facilities such that the furthest among n points is as close as possible to one of the facilities. Rectangular (sometimes called rectilinear, Manhattan, or 1,) distances are considered. An O ( n ) algorithm for the 1-center problem, an O ( n ) algorithm for the 2-center problem, and an O ( n logn) algorithm for the 3-center problem are given. Generalizations to general p-center problems are also discussed.

This article uses a vertex-closing approach to investigate the p-center problem. The optimal set of vertices to close are found in imbedded subgraphs of the original graph. Properties of these subgraphs are presented and then used to characterize the optimal solution, to establish a priori upper and
