Nonsmooth algorithms and Nesterov’s smoothing technique for generalized Fermat–Torricelli problems

We present algorithms for solving a number of new models of facility location which generalize the classical Fermat–Torricelli problem. Our first approach involves using Nesterov’s smoothing technique and the minimization majorization principle to build smooth approximations that are convenient for...
