An extendable heuristic framework to solve the p-compact-regions problem for urban economic modeling
Propose an extendable heuristic framework for solving large, practical, and non-linear regionalization problems. Introduce NMI as a novel method and prove its effectiveness to compute compactness in a p-compact-regions problem. Demonstrate the good performance of MERGE heuristic in solving real-world large p-compact-regions problem.
