Optimization Strategies for the Vulnerability Analysis of the Electric Power Grid
Identifying small groups of lines, whose removal would cause a severe blackout, is critical for the secure operation of the electric power grid. We show how power grid vulnerabilit...

Locating Guards for Visibility Coverage of Polygons
We propose heuristics for visibility coverage of a polygon with the fewest point guards. This optimal coverage problem, often called the “art gallery problem”, is known to be ...
