An algorithm is given which finds all optimal solutions, for a given set of criteria, to political redistricting problems. Using "population units" as indivisible elements, the first phase generates all feasible districts, where feasibility indicates contiguity, compactness and limited...

The m-Center Problem is to locate a given number of (emergency) facilities anywhere along a road network so as to minimize the maximum distance between these facilities and fixed demand locations assigned to them. Fundamental properties of the m-Center Problem are examined. The problem is...
