Let weighted points be given in the plane 2. For each pointa radius is given which is the expected ideal distance from this pointto a new facility. We want to find the location of a new facility suchthat the sum of the weighted errors between the existing points andthis new facility is minimized. This is in fact a nonconvex optimization problem. We show that the optimal solution lies in an extended rectangular hull of the existing points. Based on this finding then anefficient big square small square (BSSS) procedure is proposed
