Popis: This paper studies two types of reverse 1-center problems under uniform linear cost function where edge lengths are allowed to reduce. In the first type, the aim is that the objective value is bounded by a prescribed fixed value [Formula: see text] at minimum cost. The aim of the other is to improve the objective value as much as possible within a given budget. An algorithm based on dynamic programming is proposed to solve the first problem in linear time. Then, this algorithm is applied as a subroutine to design an algorithm to solve the second type of the problem in [Formula: see text] time in which [Formula: see text] is a fixed number dependent on the problem parameters. Under the similarity assumption, this algorithm has a better complexity than the Nguyen algorithm (2013) with quadratic-time complexity. Some numerical experiments are conducted to validate this fact in practice.
