seminar: Location, Irrigation, and Related Optimization Problems in Mass Transportation Theory
speaker: Giuseppe Buttazzo (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa)abstract: We present a class of problems which go under the name of {\it location problems} where one has to determine the optimal position of a given number of points in a given domain. Due to the numerical complexity of this kind of problems the asymptotic analysis as the number of points go to infinity is studied. The analogous cases where one has to design an optimal network, called {\it irrigation problems} are also of interest. We show that a {\it short-term} local (in time) optimization gives in these cases a result not so far from the {\it long-term} global optimization one, being much easier to implement.
