Waves can be expressed in terms of a spectrum; that is, the energy density distribution of a representative wave can be determined using statistical analysis. The JONSWAP, PM and BM spectra have been widely used for the specific target wave data set during storms. In this case, the extracted wave data are usually discontinuous and independent and cover a very short period of the total data-recording period. Previous studies on the continuous wave spectrum have focused on wave deformation in shallow water conditions and cannot be generalized for deep water conditions. In this study, the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) function is proposed as a more-optimal function for the fitting of the continuous wave spectral shape based on long-term monitored point wave data in deep waters. The GEV function was found to be able to accurately reproduce the wave spectral shape, except for discontinuous waves of greater than 4 m in height.

The basic way to charge vehicles for using road and public transport networks is the entry-exit toll system. This system works by reading Hi-Pass and public transportation cards of the vehicles using card readers. However, the problems of navigating a route in consideration of entry-exit toll systems include the non-additive costs of enumerating routes. This problem is known as an NP-complete task that enumerates all paths and derives the optimal path. So far, the solution to the entry-exit toll system charging has been proposed in the form of transforming the road network. However, unlike in the public transport network where the cards are generalized, this solution has not been found in situations where network expansion is required with a transfer, multi-modes and multiple card readers. Hence, this study introduced the Link Label for a public transportation network composed of card readers in which network expansion is bypassed in selecting the optimal path by enumerating the paths through a one-to-one k-path search. Since the method proposed in this study constructs a relatively small set of paths, finding the optimal path is not burdensome in terms of computing power. In addition, the ease of comparison of sensitivity between paths indicates the possibility of using this method as a generalized means of deriving an optimal path.

This paper is proposed new optimal PWM scheme is based on a defined linear relationship between the successive pulsewidths of the PWM pattern. The calculation of the pulsewidths in the new PWM scheme is caried out without referring to the equations of CW and MW. With this scheme the PWM pattern for microprocessor controlled inverters can be composed easily by obtaining the optimal increment in sucessive pulsiwidths of the pattern. Furthmore, the harmonic level at the output of PWM inverter are always very low because this PWM pattern is selected on the basis of minimum THD. Theis scheme is applied to 1(Hp), three phase induction motor, and compared with conventional regular PWM scheme. The results of calculations and experiments show that new optimal PWM scheme could provide an effective generalized approach for minimization of harmonics in the VSI-PWM inverter.

An inverse optimal problem for homing guidance with angular constraint is addressed. The gains of BPN(Biased PN) are investigated by duality analysis related to the weighting matrices of the performance index in the LQ control problem. Moreover, the criteria for the existence of optimal gains are derived from the generalized Riccati equation. Based on the conditions we achieve the gain set of BPN to be optimal solution to the LQ problem with terminal constraints. To validate and demonstrate the proposed approach 3-DOF simulations are carried out.

This paper studied the problem of determining the optimal inventory level to meet the customer service target level in a situation where the customer demand for each branch of a nationwide retailer is uncertain. To this end, ISR (In-Stock Ratio) was defined as a key management indicator (KPI) that can be used from the perspective of a nationwide retailer such as Samsung, LG, or Apple that sells goods at branches nationwide. An optimization model was established to allow the retailer to minimize the total amount of inventory held at each branch while meeting the customer service target level defined as the average ISR. This paper proves that there is always an optimal solution in the model and expresses the optimal solution in a generalized form using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition regardless of the shape of the probability distribution of customer demand. In addition, this paper studied the case where customer demand follows a specific probability distribution such as a normal distribution, and an expression representing the optimal inventory level for this case was derived.

In this paper we consider the CSP requirements determination problem of new equipment system. The CSP we deal with in the paper are restricted to the demand-based spare parts. For the newly procured equipment systems, mathematical analyses are made for the system which is constructed with the repairable items to derive the associated CSP requirement determination model in mathematical expression, respectively. Based on these analyses, a mathematical model is derived for making an optimal CSP requirement determination subject to the constraint of satisfying any given funds limitation. We assume that the failure of a part follows a Poisson process. Firstly, the operational availability concept in CSP is defined and the relation between the general system availability and the operational availability is established. Secondly, the problem is formulated as the operational availability maximization problem that should satisfy the funds limitation, and then, using the generalized Lagrange multipliers method, the optimal solution procedure is derived.

A control-structure combined optimal design problem is discussed taking a 3-D truss structure as a design object. We use descriptor forms for a controlled object and a generalized plant because the structural parameters appear naturally in these forms. We consider not only minimum weight design problem for structure system, but also suppression problem of the effect of disturbances for control system as the purpose of the design. By minimizing the linear sum of the normalized structural objective function and control objective function, it is possible to make optimal design by which the balance of the structural weight and the control performance is taken.

In this paper we consider optimal designs of partially step-stress life testing which is deviced for k-component series systems with the considerably long life time. Test items are first run simultaneously at use condition for a specified time, and the surviving items are then run at accelerated condition until a predetermined censoring time. The optimal criterion for the change time to accelerated condition is to minimized either the generalized asymptotic variance of maximum likelihood estimators of the hazard rates at use condition and the acceleration factors or the asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimators of the acceleration factors.

In this paper, a preventive maintenance(PM) policy for a repairable system is considered. The failure rate model proposed by Park et at.(2000) is generalized by assuming that after each PM not only the PM slows down the degradation process of the system but also reduces down the system failure rate by a certain fixed amount. Long-run expected cost rate of the PM policy is derived and the properties of joint solution of the optimal PM period and optimal number of PM which minimizes the expected cost rate are obtained. Numerical examples for the case of a Weibull-type failure rate are given.
