The Plasticity of Non-Overlapping Convex Sets in R^(2)

We study a generalization of the weighted Fermat-Torricelli problem in the plane, which is derived by replacing vertices of a convex polygon by 'small' closed convex curves with weights being positive real numbers on the curves, we also study its generalized inverse problem. Our solution of the problems is based on the first variation formula of the length of line segments that connect the weighted Fermat-Torricelli point with its projections onto given closed convex curves. We find the
