Abstract

We present an algorithm for finding an optimal location with respect to the Lorenz equity measure on a weighted tree. The algorithm complexity, O(n3log n), substantially improves a previous algorithm for the same problem. Discussion of the behavior of the optimal location shows the sensitivity and intricate nature of this measure, which may result in an unexpected optimal location under extreme conditions. Some examples illustrate these phenomena.
