The Fermat–Torricelli point of a triangle is a point which minimizes the total distance from the point to the vertices.
The geometric method of finding the Fermat–Torricelli point for triangles is well known.
We may apply Lagrange Multipliers to find such a point for polygons.
Is there a geometric construction of Fermat–Torricelli point for polygons ??

Not a purely geometric construction, but an efficient algorithm (due to Weiszfeld) is well-known in the literature. These notes by Nam are an excellent survey on the topic, in my opinion.
