Optimal channel networks, landscape function and branched transport

چکیده
Lots of branching structures transporting different kind of fluids, such as road systems, communication networks, river basins, blood vessels, leaves and trees and so on, may be easily thought of as coming from a variational principle. They appear when transport costs encourage joint transportation. Recently these problems received a lot of attention by mathematicians. This paper mainly discusses some features wich are crucial in river basins applications, but addresses also applications to other fields.

A Fractal Shape Optimization Problem in Branched Transport
We investigate the following question: what is the set of unit volume which can be best irrigated starting from a single source at the origin, in the sense of branched transport? We may formulate this question as a shape optimization problem and prove existence of solutions, which can be considered as a sort of “unit ball” for branched transport. We establish some elementary properties of optim...
متن کاملA Two-Threshold Guard Channel Scheme for Minimizing Blocking Probability in Communication Networks
In this paper, we consider the call admission problem in cellular network with two classes of voice users. In the first part of paper, we introduce a two-threshold guard channel policy and study its limiting behavior under the stationary traffic. Then we give an algorithm for finding the optimal number of guard channels. In the second part of this paper, we give an algorithm, which minimizes th...
متن کاملOptimal micropatterns in transport networks
We consider two variational models for transport networks, an urban planning and a branched transport model, in which the degree of network complexity and ramification is governed by a small parameter ε > 0. Smaller ε leads to finer ramification patterns, and we analyse how optimal network patterns in a particular geometry behave as ε → 0 by proving an energy scaling law. This entails providing...

Simultaneous effects of slip and heat transfer on peristaltic transport of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid in an asymmetric channel is studied under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynold number .The asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitudes and phase.Exect solutions for stream function,velocity ...
متن کاملEcological and Economic Principles to Improve the Route Network of Urban Transport
The transport system of many Ukrainian cities does not meet the EU standards and requirements. There is a need to improve urban transport networks, to use transport potential efficiently on the basis of environmental logistics and to improve environmental safety as one of the principles of sustainable transport development. The systems model to create an ecologically safe logistics system of pu...
