Abstract
This paper studies problems of finding optimal facility locations on an imbedding of a finite, undirected network having positive arc lengths. We establish that a large class of such problems is convex, in a well defined sense, for all choices of the data if and only if the network is a tree. A number of useful properties of related convex functions end convex sets are identified.Keywords
