Taming the Gerrymander—Statistical physics approach to Political Districting Problem
✍ Chung-I Chou; S.P. Li 📂 Article 📅 2006 🏛 Elsevier Science 🌐 English ⚖ 414 KB

The Political Districting Problem is mapped to a q-state Potts model in which the constraints can be written as interactions between sites or external fields acting on the system. Districting into q voter districts is equivalent to finding the ground state of this q-state Potts model. We illustrate

The primary aim of this contribution consists in providing a "taxonomy" of the computational tools and concepts that are currently available to tackle morphological problems in paleoanthropology. The second aim is to show that there are mutual links between the three aspects of computation. In paleo

Most of the current work on the maximum principle in control theory, with the exception of Young [11] and McShane [12], deals with necessary conditions that a [any] postulated optimal solution must satisfy. The essential weakness here is that necessary conditions are proved for an often nonexistent
