This article deals with the reverse 1-median problem on graphs with positive vertex weights. The problem is proved to be strongly N P-hard even in the case of bipartite graphs and not approximable within a constant factor (unless P = N P). Furthermore, a linear time algorithm for the reverse 1-median problem on a cycle with linear cost functions (RMC) is developed. It is also shown that there exists an integral optimal solution of RMC if the input data are integral.
