Optimization is a process that searches an optimal solution to obtain maximum or minimum value of an objective function. Many researchers have focused on effective search algorithms for the optimum but few researches were interested in establishing the objective function. This study compares two approaches for the objective function: one allows a tradeoff among the objectives and the other does not allow a tradeoff by assigning weights for the absolute priority between the objectives. An optimization model using sampling stochastic dynamic programming was applied to these two objective functions and the resulting optimal policies were compared. As a result, the objective function with no tradeoff provides a decision making process that matches practical reservoir operations than that with a tradeoff allowed. Therefore, it is more reasonable to establish the objective function with no a tradeoff among the objectives for multi-purpose dam operation plan in Korea.

In this paper, a new form of linear models referred to as generalized weighted linear models is proposed. The proposed models assume that the relationship between the response variable and explanatory variables can be modelled by a distribution function of the response mean and a weighted linear combination of distribution functions of covariates. This form addresses a structural problem of the link function in the generalized linear models in which the parameter space may not be consistent with the space derived from linear predictors. The maximum likelihood estimation with Lagrange's undetermined multipliers is used to estimate the parameters and resampling method is applied to compute confidence intervals and to test hypotheses.

In this paper, a two-dimensional electroelastic analysis is performed on a piezoelectric material with an open crack. The approach of Lekhnitskii's complex potential functions is used in the derivation and Bueckner's weight function theory is extended to piezoelectric materials. The stress intensity factors and the electric displacement intensity factor are calculated by the weight function theory.

In the conventional researches, the reliabilities of the fuzzy system are represented and analyzed by real values between zero and one, fuzzy numbers, intervals of confidence, etc. In this paper, we present a method to represent and analyze the reliabilities of the weighted components of the fuzzy system and the weights reflected on their importance based on vague sets defined in the universe of discourse [0, 1]. The vague set is represented as the interval consisted of the truth-membership functions and the false-membership functions, therefore it can allow the reliabilities and the weights of a fuzzy system to represent in a more flexible manner. The proposed method considers the weights of the weighted components in the fuzzy systems, its reliability analysis is more flexible and effective than the conventional methods.

본 논문에서는 음성합성(speech synthesis) 및 부호화(coding) 시스템에 있어서 음원(voice source) 모델링에 관한 문제를 살펴보고자 한다. 기존의 음원 모델링 시스템이 가지고 있는 여러 문제들을 극복하고자 기저함수(basis function) 의 가중 합(weighted-sum)으로 음원을 모델링 하는 새로운 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 방법에서는 음원 파형(voice source waveform)을 적절히 표현하기 위해서 필터뱅크(filter bank)에 기초한 기저함수의 가중 합으로 나타낸다. 다양한 음원 특성을 효과적으로 나타내는 음원 파라미터를 구하기 위하여 EM(estimate maximize)에 기초한 구조에 관해 조사한다. 제안한 방법을 이용하여 다양한 유성음에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 제안한 추정(estimation) 방법 및 모델링 방법을 이용하면 기존의 방법에 비해 더 정확한 음원 파형을 추정할 수 있고, 다양한 음원 특성을 나타낼 수 있다. 또한 음성합성 및 부호화에서도 음성품질(voice quality)를 개선시킬 수 있으리라 기대된다.

추계론적 해석은 구조계 내의 해석인수에 존재하는 공간적 또는 시간적 임의성이 구조계 반응에 미치는 영향에 대한 고찰을 목적으로 한다. 확률장은 구족계 내에서 특정한 확률분포를 가지는 것으로 가정된다. 구조계 반응에 대한 이들 확률장의 영향 평가를 위하여 통계학적 추계론적 해석과 비통계학적 추계론적 해석이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비통계학적 추계론적 해석방법 중의 하나인 가중적분법을 제안하였다. 특히 구조계의 공간적 임의성이 큰 특성을 가지고 있는 반무한영역에 대한 적용 예를 제시하고자 한다. 반무한영역의 모델링에는 무한요소를 사용하였다. 제안된 방법에 의한 해석 결과는 통계학적 방법인 몬테카를로 방법에 의한 결과와 비교되었다. 제안된 가중적분법은 자기상관함수를 사용하여 확률장을 고려하므로 무한영역의 고려에 따른 해석의 모호성을 제거할 수 있다. 제안방법과 몬테카를로 방법에 의한 결과는 상호 잘 일치하였으며 공분산 및 표준편차는 무한요소의 적용에 의하여 매우 개선된 결과를 나타내었다.

This paper provides the systematic procedure to determine the weighting matrices of optimal controllers considering structural energy. Optimal controllers consist of LQR and ILQR. The weighting matrices are needed first in the conventional optimal control design strategy. However, they are in general dependent on the experienced knowledge of control designers. Applying the Lyapunov function to total structural energy and using the condition that its derivative is negative, we can determine the weighting matrices without difficulty. It is proven that the control efficiency with using determined weighting matrices is achieved well for LQR and ILQR controllers.

In this paper, a stochastic field that is compatible with Monte Carlo simulation is suggested for an expansion-based stochastic analysis scheme of weighted integral method. Through investigation on the way of affection of stochastic field function on the displacement vector in the series expansion scheme, it is noticed that the stochastic field adopted in the weighted integral method is not compatible with that appears in the Monte Carlo simulation. As generally recognized in the field of stochastic mechanics, the response variability is not a linear function of the coefficient of variation of stochastic field but a nonlinear function with increasing variability as the intensity of uncertainty is increased. Employing the stochastic field suggested in this study, the response variability evaluated by means of the weighted integral scheme is reproduced with high precision even for uncertain fields with moderately large coefficient of variation. Besides, despite the fact that only the first-order expansion is employed, an outstanding agreement between the results of expansion-based weighted integral method and Monte Carlo simulation is achieved.
