% K fixed points x_1,...,x_K in R^2 are given and the goal is to place
% one additional point x such that the sum of the squares of the
% Euclidean distances to fixed points is minimized:
%           minimize    sum_{i=1}^K  ||x - x_i||^2
% The optimal point is the average of the given fixed points

% Data generation
n = 2;
K = 11;
randn('state',0);
P = randn(n,K);

% minimizing the sum of Euclidean distance
fprintf(1,'Minimizing the sum of the squares the distances to fixed points...');

cvx_begin
    variable x(2)
    minimize ( sum( square_pos( norms(x*ones(1,K) - P,2) ) ) )
cvx_end

fprintf(1,'Done! \n');
