This paper gives an O(n log n)-time algorithm for the following problem: min Σni=1|xi-ai| s.t.x1≦x2≦...≦xn where ai(i=1, ..., n) are given constants and xi(i=1, ..., n) are variables. There has been given an O(n2)-time incremental algorithm, and we improve it by using the heap as a data structure and modify the incremental algorithm partly. This problem is a kind of the geometric fitting problem between two corresponding sets of points on a line which is related to some VLSI layout design problem.
