Degree bounded geometric spanning trees with a bottleneck objective function
(2019)We introduce the geometric $\delta$-minimum bottleneck spanning tree problem ($\delta$-MBST), which is the problem of finding a spanning tree for a set of points in a geometric space (e.g., the Euclidean plane) such that ... -
Promoting change in teacher practice through supported differentiation of instruction in mathematics
(2019)Differentiated instruction has been shown to be effective in improving student learning outcomes; however, the resulting work load can be difficult for teachers to manage. A teaching package known as the NRP (Number Resource ... -
Topics in optimisation
(2018)This thesis addresses four problems in continuous and discrete optimisation. The first problem is about using column generation – an advanced technique in mixed integer programming – to design schedules for students in the ...
