The optimality conditions for the optimal shape remodelling of linearly elastic plates are obtained by introducing the total variation of a function defined on a variable domain, although the variation of a function has been taken on a fixed domain in most literature on calculus of variations. Using these optimality conditions, a solution scheme involving an iterative algorithm is proposed, tog...

In this paper, the data predistorter with memory used to minimize total power consumption due to amplifier nonlinearity in single power mode quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) systems is investigated. The design of the data predistorter (DP) with memory is independent of the operating optimality criterion but depends upon the operating point of amplifier nonlinearity. The more useful choice o...

Solutions to the route choice problem for assumptions of user-optimality and system-optimality are presented for the road network of the Chicago region. Regionwide results show a 5% decrease in total travel time would be achieved during the morning peak period, if a system-optimal solution based on travel times were implemented. Among the costs of this solution is a 1.5% increase in vehicle-mil...
