The author presents a linear-time algorithm for a class of problems including the multiplicative weighted-center problem, that is, there are some demand points and one seeks a facility location to minimize the largest weighted distance between the facility and any demand point. The main example is the problem of finding the smallest ball enclosing n given balls.
