The Weighted Fermat Triangle Problem

We completely solve the generalized Fermat problem: given a triangle 𝑃1, 𝑃2, 𝑃3 and three positive numbers 𝜆1, 𝜆2, 𝜆3, find a point 𝑃 for which the sum 𝜆1𝑃1𝑃+𝜆2𝑃2𝑃+𝜆3𝑃3𝑃 is minimal. We show that the point always exists and is unique, and indicate necessary and sufficient conditions for the point to...
