Results and Prospects

Norman Biggs

Abstract

This report is a non-technical account of some recent results on the Frequency Assignment Problem, focussing in particular on integer programming methods developed by Janssen and Kilakos. The report concludes with a discussion of prospects for future work based on what already has been achieve. There are seven sections.

  1. The Frequency Assignment Problem
  2. Lower Bounds
  3. Integer Programming
  4. The Philadelphia Problem
  5. Comparison of Lower Bounds
  6. Is there a Useful Classification of Problems?
  7. Conclusion
