Lorentzian geometry and variability reduction in airplane boarding: Slow passengers first outperforms random boarding
Sveinung Erland, Jevgenijs Kaupužs, Albert Steiner +1
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 rep…

Lorentzian geometry based analysis of airplane boarding policies highlights slow passengers first as better
Sveinung Erland, Jevgenijs Kaupužs, Vidar Frette +2
We study airplane boarding in the limit of large number of passengers using geometric optics in a Lorentzian metric. The airplane boarding problem is naturally embedded in a 1+1 di…
