Technical Report, School of ORIE, Cornell University 1103(1994)We consider the problem of choosing Euclidean points to maximize the sum of their weighted pairwise distances, when each point is constrained to a ball centered at the origin. We derive a dual minimization problem and show strong duality holds (i.e., the resulting upper bound is tight) when some locally optimal configuration of points is affinely independent. We sketch a polynomial time algorithm for finding a near-optimal set of points.
