The stated characterization of properly efficient points for a scalar location problem is only true in dimension 1 and 2. For higher dimensions, the property stated is necessary, but not sufficient.

Abstract

We show by counterexample that one of the results in the paper "On Pareto optima, the FermatWeber problem, and polyhedral gauges", by R. Durier, Mathematical Programming 47 (1990), does not hold. The stated characterization of properly efficient points for a scalar location problem is only true in dimension 1 and 2. For higher dimensions, the property stated is necessary, but not sufficient.
