چکیده

We prove that the D4 root system (equivalently, the set of vertices of the regular 24-cell) is not a universally optimal spherical code. We further conjecture that there is no universally optimal spherical code of 24 points in S, based on numerical computations suggesting that every 5-design consisting of 24 points in S is in a 3-parameter family (which we describe explicitly, based on a construction due to Sali) of deformations of the D4 root system.

Universal Optimality for Selected Crossover Designs

Hedayat and Yang earlier proved that balanced uniform designs in the entire class of crossover designs based on t treatments, n subjects, and pD t periods are universally optimal when n· t .t ¡ 1/=2. Surprisingly, in the class of crossover designs with t treatments and p D t periods, a balanced uniform design may not be universally optimal if the number of subjects exceeds t .t ¡ 1/=2. This art...

Finding the Optimal Place of Sensors for a 3-D Damped Wave Equation by using Measure Approach

In this paper‎, ‎we model and solve the problem of optimal shaping and placing to put sensors for a 3-D wave equation with constant damping in a bounded open connected subset‎ ‎of 3-dimensional space‎. ‎The place of sensor is modeled by a subdomain‎ ‎of this region of a given measure‎. ‎By using an approach based on the embedding process‎, ‎first‎, ‎the system is formulated in variational form;...

A STUDY OF OPTIMAL DIMENSIONING OF QUEUES WITH RESPECT TO SOCIAL AND INDIVIDUAL PROFIT

In this paper, a system of GIG/l/K queue is considered. The optimal system's capacity (K), when the system is optimized with respect to the benefit of the entire system (social optimization) and when the criterion for optimality is individual gains (individual optimization), is determined and compared. In social optimization, the system capacity is obtained through maximization of the syst...

Tuning of Excitation and TCSC -Based Stabilizers for Multimachine Power System

In this paper, tuning of power system stabilizer (PSS) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is studied. The analysis of mode controllability is used to select the effective location for TCSC. The performances of TCSC equipped with a proportional-integral-derivative controller (P-I-D controller) and proportional-integral-derivative power system stabilizer (P-I-D PSS) are investigated...
