Unweighted p-center problem on extended stars

Abstract

An extended star is a tree which has only one vertex with degree larger than two. The -center problem in a graph asks to find a subset of the vertices of of cardinality such that the maximum weighted distances from to all vertices is minimized. In this paper we consider the -center problem on the unweighted extended stars, and present some properties to find solution.
