The box-constrained weighted maximin dispersion problem is to find a point in an $ n $-dimensional box such that the minimum of the weighted Euclidean distance from given $ m $ points is maximized. In this paper, we first propose a two-phase method to solve it. In the first phase, we adopt a block successive upper bound minimization (BSUM) algorithm framework and choose a special piecewise linear upper bound function for the weighted maximin dispersion problem. The per-iteration complexity of our algorithm is very low, since the subproblem is a one-dimensional piecewise linear minimax problem over the box constraints, or eqivalently, a two-dimensional linear programming problem which can be solved in at most $ O(m) $ time by existing algorithms. In the second phase, a useful rounding is employed to enhance the solution. Moreover, we propose another strengthened two-phase algorithm, which employs a maximum improvement successive upper-bound minimization (MISUM) algorithm instead of BSUM algorithm in the first phase. At each step, only the block that provides the maximum improvement of the upper bound function is updated. Then, it can be proved that every limit point of the iterate generated by this strengthened algorithm is a stationary point. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithms are efficient.

Keywords: Maximin dispersion problem, block successive upper bound minimization, maximum improvement successive upper-bound minimization, successive convex approximation.
