Abstract
Discrete optimization and optimization algorithms are useful tools to model and to solve problems for a variety of applications.
In this seminar we will briefly describe a few discrete optimization problems, like finding a path while simultaneously locating special stops along the path, finding pairs of paths that are different enough, and finding a cover for a set of elements. Some applications of these problems arising in transportation, telecommunications and 3D printing, will also be discussed.
