COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION CONSIDERING REGIONAL FEATURES: A MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND A NUMERICAL METHOD
The article is devoted to the construction and study of a new mathematical model for an optimal communication network. The model has the form of an undirected graph in a two-dimensional metric space. As compared to traditional models, the use of the special metric allows a more complete consideration of geographical, ecological, economic, and other terrain features. Model examples are solved and the problem of minimum cost routing with regard to environmental constraints is considered as well.
