Journal of Applied and Industrial Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Under study is the problem of optimal location of interconnected objects on a line with forbidden gaps. The task is to minimize the total cost of links between objects and between objects and zones. The properties of the problem are found that allowed us to reduce the initial continuous problem to a discrete problem. Some algorithm for obtaining an approximate solution is developed, and the results of a computational experiment are given.
