Algorithms For Some Geometric Facility Location And Path Planning Problems., Sasanka Roy Dr.
Algorithms For Some Geometric Facility Location And Path Planning Problems., Sasanka Roy Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The facility location problem is a resource allocation problem that mainly deals with adequate placement of various types of facilities to serve a distributed set of demands satisfying the nature of interactions between the demands and facilities and optimizing the cost of placing/maintaining the facilities and the quality of services.The facility location problem is well-studied in the Operations Research literature and recently has received a lot of attention in the Computer Science community. For a company, the facility location problem provides more strategic decisions than just giving importance to locate the lowest cost space for storing its products. While identifying …
Metrology And Proportion In The Ecclesiastical Architecture Of Medieval Ireland, Avril Behan, Rachel Moss
Metrology And Proportion In The Ecclesiastical Architecture Of Medieval Ireland, Avril Behan, Rachel Moss
Conference Papers
The aim of this paper is to examine the extent to which detailed empirical analysis of the metrology and proportional systems used in the design of Irish ecclesiastical architecture can be analysed to provide historical information not otherwise available. Focussing on a relatively limited sample of window tracery designs as a case study, it will first set out to establish what, if any, systems were in use, and then what light these might shed on the background, training and work practices of the masons, and, by association, the patrons responsible for employing them.
Tessellations Of The Hyperbolic Plane, Roberto Carlos Soto
Tessellations Of The Hyperbolic Plane, Roberto Carlos Soto
Theses Digitization Project
In this thesis, the two models of hyperbolic geometry, properties of hyperbolic geometry, fundamental regions created by Fuchsian groups, and the tessellations that arise from such groups are discussed.
The Role Of Algebraic Inferences In Naîm Ibn Mûsa’S Collection Of Geometrical Propositions, Marco Panza
The Role Of Algebraic Inferences In Naîm Ibn Mûsa’S Collection Of Geometrical Propositions, Marco Panza
MPP Published Research
Na‘im ibn Musa's lived in Baghdad in the second half of the 9th century. He was probably not a major mathematician. Still his Collection of geometrical propositions---recently edited and translated in French by Roshdi Rashed and Christian Houzel---reflects quite well the mathematical practice that was common in Thabit ibn Qurra's school. A relevant characteristic of Na‘im's treatise is its large use of a form of inferences that can be said ‘algebric' in a sense that will be explained. They occur both in proofs of theorems and in solutions of problems. In the latter case, they enter different sorts of problematic …
