In this paper, an effective algorithm based on the reformulation-linearization technique (RLT) is developed to solve the smallest enclosing circle problem. Extensive computational experiments demonstrate that the algorithm based on the RLT outperforms the existing algorithms in terms of the solution time and quality in average.

Keywords: The smallest enclosing circle, second order cone programming, linear programming.
