A mathematical model for political districting with compactness consideration and an application to Kentucky Senate districting
The basic redistricting problem is defined as aggregating a set of base (indivisible) units into contiguous geographical areas with almost equal voter population, called districts, and districts into a district plan. The method used to create districts can have a substantial impact on election …

A Decision Support System for the Electrical Power Districting Problem
… to this complex problem as the electrical power districting problem. This research is intended to identify the necessary and fundamental characteristics to appropriately model and solve an electrical power districting problem. Specifically, the objectives of this research are five-fold. First, to …

Embeddings for Disjunctive Programs with Applications to Political Districting and Rectangle Packing
… which is inspired by a simplified political districting problem. We present and derive a constant time solution to the problem via a reduced-dimensional reformulation, the Karash-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions, and gradient descent. The second chapter covers a more complete form of the …
