There is a matrix, m x n. Several groups of people locate at some certain spots. In the following example, there are
three groups and the number 4 indicates there are four people in this group. Now we want to find a meeting point in the matrix so that the cost of all groups moving to that point is the minimum. As for how to compute the cost of moving one group to another
point, please see the following example.
Group1: (0, 1), 4
Group2: (1, 3), 3
Group3: (2, 0), 5
. 4 . .
. . . 3
5 . . .
If all of these three groups moving to (1, 1), the cost is: 4*((1-0)+(1-1)) + 5*((2-1)+(1-0))+3*((1-1)+(3-1))
My idea is :
Firstly, this two dimensional problem can be reduced to two one dimensional problem. In the one dimensional problem, I can prove that the best spot must be one of these groups. In this way, I can give a O(G^2) algorithm.(G is the number of group).
Use iterator's example for illustration:
{(-100,0,100),(100,0,100),(0,1,1)},(x,y,population)
for x, {(-100,100),(100,100),(0,1)}, 0 is the best.
for y, {(0,100),(0,100),(1,1)}, 0 is the best.
So it's (0, 0)
Is there any better solution for this problem.

It could be treated as a problem of Fermat Problem with weights. If the coordinates of nodes aren't float, look at the perspective that the cost of moving a group of people is a (distanceX+distanceY)*amount. So we need to calculate the minimal cost moving by X and then by Y axis. The complexity is O(m + n)

探讨了在矩阵中寻找使多个群体移动成本最低的会合点问题。通过将二维问题简化为两个一维问题,并利用加权费马点的概念进行求解,提出了一种O(G^2)的算法。
