The snowblower problem
2011
Computational geometry
We introduce the snowblower problem (SBP), a new optimization problem that is closely related to milling problems and to some material-handling problems. ...
We show that in general, the problem is NPcomplete, and we present polynomial-time approximation algorithms for removing snow under various assumptions about the operation of the snowblower. ...
We thank the referees and the partic- ...

We introduce the snowblower problem (SBP), a new optimization problem that is closely related to milling problems and to some material-handling problems. ...
We show that in general, the problem is NP-complete, and we present polynomial-time approximation algorithms for removing snow under various assumptions about the operation of the snowblower. ...
This experience crystallized into an algorithmic question we have called the Snowblower Problem (SBP): How does one optimally use a snowblower to clear a given polygonal region? ...

Intuitively, Airy and parabolic beams act as a form of micrometer-sized "snowblower" attracting microparticles or cells at the bottom of a sample chamber to blow them in an arc to another region of the ...
The year 2007 witnessed the experimental realization of extraordinary laser beams termed Airy and parabolic beams. ...
