Abstract
The challenge of maximizing the diversity of a collection of points arises in a variety of social studies, which translates into the growing interest in the treatment of diversity in mathematical models. Although the terms diversity and dispersion can be found in many optimization problems to be indistinguishable, we undertake to explore the different models behind them.
