A (2+ε)-Approximation Algorithm for Metric 𝑘-Median

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

In the classical NP-hard (metric) 𝑘-median problem, we are given a set of 𝑛 clients and centers with metric distances between them, along with an integer parameter 𝑘 ≥ 1. The objective is to select a subset of 𝑘 open centers that minimizes the total distan ...
