Succession rules and Deco polyominoes

Elena Barcucci, Sara Brunetti, Francesco Del Ristoro (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

In this paper, we examine the class of "deco" polyominoes and the succession rule describing their construction. These polyominoes are enumerated according to their directed height by factorial numbers. By changing some aspects of the "factorial" rule, we obtain some succession rules that describe various "deco" polyomino subclasses. By enumerating the subclasses according to their height and width, we find the following well-known numbers: Stirling numbers of the first and second...

Allocating servers to facilities, when demand is elastic to travel and waiting times

Vladimir Marianov, Miguel Rios, Francisco Javier Barros (2005)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

Public inoculation centers are examples of facilities providing service to customers whose demand is elastic to travel and waiting time. That is, people will not travel too far, or stay in line for too long to obtain the service. The goal, when planning such services, is to maximize the demand they attract, by locating centers and staffing them so as to reduce customers’ travel time and time spent in queue. In the case of inoculation centers, the goal is to maximize the people that travel...
