Abstract
We study the path planning of submarine cable systems with trunk-and-branch tree topology on the surface of the earth. Existing work on path planning represents the earth's surface by triangulated manifolds and takes account of laying cost of the cable including material, labor, alternative protection levels, terrain slope and survivability of the cable. Survivability issues include the risk of future cable break associated with laying the cable through sensitive and risky areas, such as, in particular, earthquake-prone regions. The key novelty of this paper is an examination and solution of the path planning of submarine cable systems with trunk-and-branch tree topology. We formulate the pr..
