Abstract
This paper considers the Fermat---Weber location problem. It is shown that, after a suitable initialization, the standard Newton method can be applied to the Fermat---Weber problem, and is globally and locally quadratically convergent. A numerical comparison with the popular Weiszfeld algorithm shows that Newton's method is significantly more efficient than the Weiszfeld scheme.
