We introduce the path player game, a noncooperative network game with a continuum of mutually dependent set of strategies. This game models network flows from the point of view of competing network operators. The players are represented by paths in the network. They have to decide how much flow...

Line planning as one of the first planning stages in public transport is a well-researched topic. Nearly all models start with the assumption that the demand for public transport is known and fixed. For real-world applications this assumption is not practicable, since there are different demands...

Robust optimization considers optimization problems with uncertainty in the data. The common data model assumes that the uncertainty can be represented by an uncertainty set. Classic robust optimization considers the solution under the worst case scenario. The resulting solutions are often too...

In this paper the following facility location problem in a mixed planar-network space is considered: We assume that traveling along a given network is faster than traveling within the plane according to the Euclidean distance. A pair of points (A <Subscript> i </Subscript>,A <Subscript> j </Subscript>) is called covered if the time to...</subscript></subscript>

In this paper we consider the problem of locating an axis-parallel rectangle in the plane such that the sum of distances between the rectangle and a finite point set is minimized, where the distance is measured by the Manhattan norm ℓ <Subscript>1</Subscript>. In this way we solve an extension of the Weber problem...</subscript>

In this paper we consider the location of stops along the edges of an already existing public transportation network. This can be the introduction of bus stops along some given bus routes, or of railway stations along the tracks in a railway network.The positive effect of new stops is given by...
