Wildfire suppression resource allocation proven NP-complete, new MIP formulation and benchmark released

Researchers have proven the strong NP-completeness of wildfire suppression resource allocation problems on planar graphs and related variants. A new mixed-integer programming formulation was developed, achieving state-of-the-art results and demonstrating competitiveness against prior findings. To address the limitations of existing benchmarks, a physics-grounded instance generator was introduced, based on Rothermel's surface fire spread model, to create more realistic and challenging scenarios for algorithm evaluation.

    Wildfire Suppression: Complexity, Models, and Instances

    arXiv:2603.29865v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Wildfires cause major losses worldwide, and the frequency of fire-weather conditions is likely to increase in many regions. We study the allocation of suppression resources over time on a graph-based representation of a la…
