Abstract
This paper deals with facility location problems on graphs with positive and negative vertex weights We consider two different objective functions In the first one MWD vertices with positive weight are assigned to the closest facility whereas vertices with negative weight are assigned to the farthest facility In the second one WMD all the vertices are assigned to the nearest facility For the MWD model it is shown that there exists a finite set of points in the graph which contains the locations of facilities in an optimal solution Furthermore algorithms for both models for the 2median problem on a cycle are developed The algorithm for the MWD model runs in linear time whereas the algorithm for the WMD model has a time complexity of mathcalOn2
