This paper provides an optimized cable path planning solution for a tree-topology network in an irregular 2D manifold in a 3D Euclidean space, with an application to the planning of submarine cable networks. Our solution method is based on…
The Euclidean Steiner tree problem seeks the min-cost network to connect a collection of target locations, and it underlies many applications of wireless networks. In this paper, we present a study on solving the Euclidean Steiner tree…
The Euclidean Steiner tree problem, normally posed in two dimensions, seeks to connect a set of prescribed terminal nodes by placing additional nodes, known as Steiner points, with edges connecting such nodes either to another Steiner point…
We introduce a flow-dependent version of the quadratic Steiner tree problem in the plane. An instance of the problem on a set of embedded sources and a sink asks for a directed tree $T$ spanning these nodes and a bounded number of Steiner…
Emerging optical and virtualization technologies enable the design of more flexible and demand-aware networked systems, in which resources can be optimized toward the actual workload they serve. For example, in a demand-aware datacenter…
In traditional topology optimization, the computing time required to iteratively update the material distribution within a design domain strongly depends on the complexity or size of the problem, limiting its application in real engineering…
We consider the problem of embedding the Steiner points of a Steiner tree with given topology into the rectilinear plane. Thereby, the length of the path between a distinguished terminal and each other terminal must not exceed given length…
This paper introduces an exact algorithm for the construction of a shortest curvature-constrained network interconnecting a given set of directed points in the plane and an iterative method for doing so in 3D space. Such a network will be…
In the Euclidean Steiner Tree problem, we are given as input a set of points (called terminals) in the $\ell_2$-metric space and the goal is to find the minimum-cost tree connecting them. Additional points (called Steiner points) from the…
We study a generalization of the Steiner tree problem, where we are given a weighted network $G$ together with a collection of $k$ subsets of its vertices and a root $r$. We wish to construct a minimum cost network such that the network…
Bottleneck Steiner networks model energy consumption in wireless ad-hoc networks. The task is to design a network spanning a given set of terminals and at most $k$ Steiner points such that the length of the longest edge is minimised. The…
In this paper, we introduce the Fixed Topology Minimum-Length Tree with Neighborhood Problem, which aims to embed a rooted tree-shaped graph into a $d$-dimensional metric space while minimizing its total length provided that the nodes must…
Spanning trees are an important primitive in many data analysis tasks, when a data set needs to be summarized in terms of its "skeleton", or when a tree-shaped graph over all observations is required for downstream processing. Popular…
Branched Optimal Transport (BOT) is a generalization of optimal transport in which transportation costs along an edge are subadditive. This subadditivity models an increase in transport efficiency when shipping mass along the same route,…
In the classical (min-cost) Steiner tree problem, we are given an edge-weighted undirected graph and a set of terminal nodes. The goal is to compute a min-cost tree S which spans all terminals. In this paper we consider the min-power…
Consider the following problem: given a graph with edge costs and a subset Q of vertices, find a minimum-cost subgraph in which there are two edge-disjoint paths connecting every pair of vertices in Q. The problem is a failure-resilient…
We propose a planning method for offshore wind farm electrical collector system (OWF-ECS) with double-sided ring topology meeting the "N-1" criterion on cable faults, in which the submarine cables layout of OWF is optimized considering…
We are interested in the design of robust (or resilient) capacitated rooted Steiner networks in case of terminals with uniform demands. Formally, we are given a graph, capacity and cost functions on the edges, a root, a subset of nodes…
Existing planning approaches for onshore wind farm siting and grid integration often do not meet minimum cost solutions or social and environmental considerations. In this paper, we develop an exact approach for the integrated layout and…
In this paper we consider spatial networks that realize a balance between an infrastructure cost (the cost of wire needed to connect the network in space) and communication efficiency, measured by average shortest pathlength. A global…
