Measuring the Compactness of Political Districting Plans
We develop a measure of compactness based on the distance between voters within the same district relative to the minimum distance achievable, which we coin the relative proximity index. Any compactness measure that satisfies three desirable properties (anonymity of voters, efficient clustering, and invariance to scale, population density, and number of districts) ranks districting plans identi...
متن کاملMultiaxial fatigue reliability analysis of railroad wheels
A general methodology for fatigue reliability degradation of railroad wheels is proposed in this paper. Both fatigue crack initiation and crack propagation life are included in the proposed methodology using previously developed multiaxial fatigue models by the same authors. A response surface method in conjunction with design of experiments is used to develop a closed form approximation of the...
متن کاملLower compactness estimates for scalar balance laws
We study the compactness in Lloc of the semigroup (St)t≥0 of entropy weak solutions to strictly convex scalar conservation laws in one space dimension. The compactness of St for each t > 0 was established by P. D. Lax [1]. Upper estimates for the Kolmogorov’s ε-entropy of the image through St of bounded sets C in L ∩ L∞ which is denoted by Hε(St(C) | L(R)) := log2 Nε(St(C)). where Nε(St(C)) is ...
متن کاملA Continuous Districting Model Applied to Logistics Distribution Problems
The aim of districting problems is to get an optimized partition of a territory into smaller units, called districts or zones, subject to some side constraints such as balance, contiguity, and compactness. Logistics districting problems usuually involve additional optimization criteria and constraints. Districting problems are called continuous when the underlying space, both for facility sites...
متن کاملCondition Based Maintenance for Two-Component Systems with Reliability and Cost Considerations
This paper studies a maintenance policy for a system composed of two components, which are subject to continuous deterioration and consequently stochastic failure. The failure of each component results in the failure of the system. The components are inspected periodically and their deterioration degrees are monitored. The components can be maintained using different maintenance actions (repair...
