Abstract
A global optimization procedure is proposed to find a line in the Euclidean three-dimensional space which minimizes the sum of distances to a given finite set of three-dimensional data points. Although we are using similar techniques as for location problems in two dimensions, it is shown that the problem becomes much harder to solve. However, a problem parameterization as well as lower bounds are suggested whereby we succeeded in solving medium-size instances in a reasonable amount of computing time.
