Lorentzian geometry and variability reduction in airplane boarding: Slow passengers first outperforms random boarding
Erland, Sveinung; Kaupužs, Jevgenijs; Steiner, Albert; Bachmat, Eitan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Airlines use different boarding policies to organize the queue of passengers waiting to enter the airplane. We analyze three policies in the many-passenger limit by a geometric representation of the queue position and row ... -
Lorentzian-geometry-based analysis of airplane boarding policies highlights “slow passengers first” as better
Erland, Sveinung; Kaupužs, Jevgenijs; Frette, Vidar; Pugatch, Rami; Bachmat, Eitan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We study airplane boarding in the limit of a large number of passengers using geometric optics in a Lorentzian metric. The airplane boarding problem is naturally embedded in a (1+1)-dimensional space-time with a flat ...
