Reserve design and facility siting

From MaRDI portal





Reserve design problems ask for the determination of a subset of a given set of parcels to be preserved as nature reserves. The problem specifications include information like the number of parcels to be selected, lists of species hosted in each of the parcels, or weights on the species involved. The problems ask for covering species by selected parcels with respect to different criteria. The authors decribe the similarity of this kind of problems to discrete location problems on the basis of five specific examples ('set covering', 'maximal covering', 'redundant/backup covering', 'chance constrained covering', and 'expected covering'). This overview chapter focusses on modelling aspects and briefly reviews different behaviours of known algorithms from discrete location theory and reserve design theory. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0988.00044].
