PMP is a well-known NP-hard problem with extensively wide applications in location science and clustering. In this paper, we presented computational complexity results about the backbone, the shared common parts of all the optimal solutions to the PMP. We showed that it is intractable to approximate the backbone of the PMP with any performance guarantee under the assumption that P ≠ NP. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
