Abstract

In this paper, we study a variant of the p-center problem on cactus graphs in which the p-center is asked to be connected, and this problem is called the connected p-center problem. For the connected p-center problem on cactus graphs, we propose an dynamic programming algorithm and show that the time complexity is \(O(n^2p^2)\), where n is number of vertices.
