Given N points on a 2D grid of the form (X,Y) we need to find to find all the points (R,S) such that the sum of the distances between the point (R,S) and each of the N points given is as small as possible.
Distance measurement b/w 2 points is done as follows
distance between the points (A,B) and (C,D) = |A-C| + |B-D|.
Also :
1) In the N given points some points can be repeated 2) (R,S) can also be any of the N given points 3) All points must have integer co-ordinates.
Constraints: $N \le 1000$, $-10^8 \le X \le10^8$, $-10^8 \le Y \le10^8$
One Such Input is as follows
N = 5
The 5 points are as follows $(0, 0), (-1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1), (0, -1)$
The number of points (R,S) is 1.
I have written a code for this but for large inputs it times out. I can paste the code here for reference. What i did was to form a polygon that surrounds all of these N points given and within this polygon calculate all the other points for smallest possible distance. But this technique won't work as values of X and Y are huge. Can You suggest me any formula of some sort or any observation so that it becomes easier for me to evaluate this function.
Thanks in advance
