Optimal networks by mass transportation via points allocation

Optimization and Control 2009-10-15 v4 Metric Geometry

Abstract

It is shown that optimal network plans can be obtained, naturally, as a limit of easier problems of point allocations. These problems are obtained by minimizing the mass transportation on the set of atomic measures of prescribed number of atoms. Each of these problems can be solved by minimizing a function of a finite, prescribed number of variables.
