[For the entire collection see Zbl 0734.00011.] Let \(X=\{x_ 1,\dots,x_ m\}\) be a finite collection of noncollinear points in the Euclidean plane \(E^ 2\) and let \(p_ i\) be real functions defined by \(p_ i(t)=\alpha_ i+\beta_ i t\), where \(\alpha_ i>0\), \(\beta_ i\geq 0\) are fixed numbers associated to \(x_ i\) \((i=1,\dots,m)\). The present paper deals with the topological structure of the set \(X_ F=\{x\in E^ 2|\) there exists \(t\geq 0\) such that \(F(x,t)=\min_{y\in E^ 2} F(y,t)\}\), where \(F\) is defined by \(F(x,t)=\sum^ m_{i=1} p_ i(t)d(x,x_ i)\) for all \(x\in E^ 2\) and for all \(t\geq 0\) \((d\) denotes the Euclidean distance). The author shows that under some natural assumption, the set \(X_ F\) consists of an arc without self-crossing.
