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.

We consider dual approaches for the Shortest Path Tree problem. After a brief introduction to the problem, we review the most important dual algorithms which have been described in the literature for its solution and propose a new family of dual ascent algorithms. In these algorithms, ''local'' and
In this paper, we propose efficient parallel algorithms on the EREW PRAM for optimally locating in a tree network a path-shaped facility and a tree-shaped facility of a specified length. Edges in the tree network have arbitrary positive lengths. Two optimization criteria are considered: minimum ecce
