This paper studies the problem of finding the 1-median on a graph where vertex weights are uncertain and the uncertainty is
characterized by given intervals. It is required to find a minmax regret solution, which minimizes the worst-case loss in
the objective function. Averbakh and Berman had an
O(
mn2log
n)-time algorithm for the problem on a general graph, and had an
O(
nlog
2 n)-time algorithm on a tree. In this paper, we improve these two bounds to
O(
mn2 +
n3log
n) and
O(
nlog
n), respectively.
Keywords: Location theory, minmax regret optimization, medians.
