Abstract
Methods for the computation of lower bounds on the cost of the connecting network for the continuous and discrete variants of the problem of location of interconnected objects subject to minimal or maximal distances between them are proposed. For the continuous variant, the bound is found by solving a linear programming problem. For the discrete variant, an assignment problem with a rectangular matrix containing forbidden entries is constructed. An application of the assignment problem for locating objects of various sizes is described.
