We study the problem of computing an equitable 2-fan for three masses distributed on the 2-sphere. The existence of an equitable 2-fan was shown by Bárány and Matoušek [3]. The contribution of this paper is two-fold. (i) We prove the existence of an infinite set of equitable 2-fans. (ii) We present an efficient algorithm for finding an equitable 2fan when the mass distributions are discrete, i....

An equitable k-coloring of a graph is defined by a partition of its vertices into k disjoint stable subsets, such that the difference between the cardinalities of any two subsets is at most one. The equitable coloring problem consists of finding the minimum value of k such that a given graph can be equitably k-colored. We present two new integer programming formulations based on representatives...

Maritime delimitation usually starts with the calculation of an equidistance line, which is often corrected for special circumstances. The correction process aims to produce a line that is “equitable”, a concept open to various interpretations. While the equidistance line is calculated by a technical expert, an equitable line is the result of a negotiation process. Technical support is, in that...
