The weighted normalized displacement vector from the site a i to x appearing in the
Fermat--Weber balance condition.
Instances For
The residual balance vector at the site a j, obtained by summing the weighted normalized
displacement vectors from the remaining sites to a j.
Instances For
Helper for Proposition 3.33: under nonnegative weights, a point x outside
Set.range a globally minimizes the Fermat--Weber objective if and only if the weighted
normalized displacement vectors balance to zero.
Helper for Proposition 3.33: under nonnegative weights and pairwise distinct sites,
a j globally minimizes the Fermat--Weber objective if and only if the residual balance over the
remaining sites has norm at most ω j.
Proposition 3.33: for pairwise distinct sites and nonnegative weights, a point globally
minimizes the Fermat--Weber objective if and only if either it is not one of the sites and the
weighted normalized displacement vectors sum to zero, or it equals a site a_j and the norm of
the corresponding residual sum over the remaining sites is at most ω_j.
