Question:
18 Reconsider Problem 2. Suppose that the store should now be located to minimize the total distance that customers must walk to the store. Where should the store be located?
(Hint: Use Problem 4 and the fact that for any convex function a local minimum will solve the NLP; then show that locating the store where one of the customers lives yields a local minimum.) Can the result be generalized?
