Abstract

We give a discrete geometric (differential-free) proof of the theorem underlying the solution of the well known Fermat–Torricelli problem, referring to the unique point having minimal distance sum to a given finite set of non-collinear points in d-dimensional space. Further on, we extend this problem to the case that one of the given points is replaced by an affine flat, and we give also a partial result for the case where all given points are replaced by affine flats (of various dimensions), with illustrative applications of these theorems.
