A convex Hull algorithm for solving a location problem

An important problem in distance geometry is of determining the position of an unknown point in a given convex set such that its longest distance to a set of finite number of points is shortest. In this paper we present an algorithm based on subgradient method and convex hull computation for solving this problem. A recent improvement of Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull of a finite set of planar points is applied to fasten up the computations in our numerical experiments
