The Fermat-Steiner problem consists in finding all points in a metric space at which the sum of the distances to fixed points of attains its minimum value. This problem is studied in the metric space of all nonempty compact subsets of the Euclidean space , and the are pairwise disjoint finite sets in . The set of solutions of this problem (which are called Steiner compact sets) falls into different classes in accordance with the distances to the . Each class contains an inclusion-greatest element and inclusion-minimal elements (a maximal Steiner compact set and minimal Steiner compact sets, respectively). We find a necessary and sufficient condition for a compact set to be a minimal Steiner compact set in a given class, provide an algorithm for constructing such compact sets and find a sharp estimate for their cardinalities. We also put forward a number of geometric properties of minimal and maximal compact sets. The results obtained can significantly facilitate the solution of specific problems, which is demonstrated by the well-known example of a symmetric set , for which all Steiner compact sets are asymmetric. The analysis of this case is significantly simplified due to the technique developed.

赋有 Hausdorff 度量的紧子集空间中的 Fermat-Steiner 问题
Fermat-Steiner 问题在于在一个度量空间中找到所有点,在这些点到 的固定点的距离之和达到其最小值。这个问题是在欧几里德空间的所有非空紧子集的度量空间中研究的,并且是中的成对不相交的有限集。该问题的解集(称为 Steiner 紧集)根据到问题的距离分为不同的类. 每个类包含一个最大包含元素和最小包含元素(分别是最大 Steiner 紧集和最小 Steiner 紧集)。我们找到了一个紧凑集是给定类中的最小 Steiner 紧凑集的必要和充分条件,提供了一种构造这种紧凑集的算法,并找到了对它们的基数的精确估计。我们还提出了一些极小和极大紧集的几何性质。获得的结果可以显着促进特定问题的解决,这可以通过对称集的著名例子来证明,所有 Steiner 紧集都是不对称的。由于所开发的技术,对这种情况的分析显着简化。
