Given a setPofnlocations on which facilities can be placed and an integerk, we want to placekfacilities on some locations so that a designated objective function is maximized. The problem is called thek-dispersion problem. For instance it is desirable to locate fire departments far away each other. In this paper we give a simpletime algorithm to solve the max–min version of thek-dispersion problem ifPis a set of points on a line. Ifkis a constant then this is anO(n) time algorithm. This is the firstO(n) time algorithm to solve the max–mink-dispersion problem for the set of “unsorted” points on a line. IfPis a set of sorted points on a line, and the input is given as an array in which the coordinates of the points are stored in the sorted order, then by slightly modifying the algorithm above one can solve the dispersion problem intime. This is the first sublinear time algorithm to solve the max–mink-dispersion problem for the set of sorted points on a line.
