합리적인 교량 대안선정을 위해서는 설계 시 경제성, 경관성, 안전성 및 기능성, 유지관리 용이성, 시공성 등 다양한 속성을 고려하여야 한다. 이 중 경제성은 초기비용뿐만 아니라 공용수명에 걸쳐 발생하는 유지관리비용, 보수 보강비용, 해체 폐기비용 등의 합인 총 생애주기비용에 대해 최소의 비용으로 최상의 가치를 창출하도록 하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 건설계획과정에서 대표적으로 고려될 수 있는 대안으로 세 가지 교량 형식(강상자형교, 소수주형교, PSC-I형 거더교)을 대상구조물로 선정하고 교량의 공용수명은 상태등급곡선으로부터 추정한 내하율 곡선을 사용하여 산정하였다. LCC최적설계를 위해 설계변수, 제약조건, 목적함수를 구성하였고, 총 생애주기비용을 공용수명으로 나눈 연간생애주기비용을 사용하여 하여 합리적인 교량의 경제성 분석을 수행하였다.

This paper is concerned with the problem of designing a guaranteed cost state feedback controller for singular systems with time-varying delays. The sufficient condition for the existence of guaranteed cost controller, the controller design method, and the optimization problem to get the upper bound of guaranteed cost function are proposed by LMI(linear matrix inequality), singular value decomposition, Schur complements, and change of variables. Since the obtained sufficient conditions can be changed to LMI form, all solutions including controller gain and the upper bound of guaranteed cost function can be obtained simultaneously. Moreover, the proposed controller design method can be extended to the problem of robust guaranteed cost controller design method for singular systems with parameter uncertainties and time-varying delays. The validity of the proposed design algorithm is investigated through a numerical example.

Analyzing the effects of information technology(IT) in the life insurance Industry is important in establishing the direction for future information technology investment. In this research, the cost-elasticity of IT capital stock was measured by the SUR technique, using the second-order translog cost function, which was drawn out by a Taylor expansion of the multi-product joint cost function. Analysis was made based on data from 1991 to 2003 collected from 33 life insurance firms. The results show that although the effects of information technology investment vary according to individual life insurance firms, half of the life insurance firms surveyed reduced their costs by investing in information technology. The research also revealed that although large life insurance firms reduced their costs by investing in information technology medium & small life insurance firms and foreign ,life insurance firms increase their costs. Additionally, although both information capital and information labor increase as the information budget increases, the increase in information capital is larger than one in information labor. Because the price of information capital is decreased rapidly more than one of information-related labor.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the cost-saving effect of R&D investment in the ICT industry. As is well known, the R&D investment induces both the product innovation and the process innovation, in turn leads the effect of creating profit and cutting cost. However, it appears that studies concerned with the cost-saving effect of R&D investment have been unproductive, while most existing studies concentrate on the topic involved with the creating profit of R&D investment. Therefore, we extend the effect of R&D investment to a framework of the cost-saving focusing on the ICT industry. To empirically analyze the effect, we built a simultaneous three-equation model comprising a translog cost function and two cost share equations, and employed the SUR analysis. As a result, we found out that the cost-saving effect on the total cost is statistically significant. In addition, we examined relationships between the R&D investment and each cost of production elements. The results show that on the one hand, the R&D investment and the intermediate good cost have the substitution relationship. On the other hand, the complementary relationship is observed between the R&D investment and each labor or capital cost.

Using a generalized translog multiproduct cost function model, this paper examines economies of scale and scope in the vertically-integrated Korean railway industry. The paper then conceptualizes that the Korea National Railroad (KNR) produces four outputs (passenger-kilometers, ton-kilometers of freight, average length of passenger trips, and average length of freight haul) using three input factors(labor, fuel and maintenance, and rolling stock and capital). Using time series data collected from the KNR's annual records for the years from 1977 to 2002, the simultaneous equation system consisting of a cost function and two input share equatins is estimated with the Zellner's iterative seemingly unrelated regression. The findings show that the cost function corresponding to a non-Cobb-Douglas, non-homothetic, and non-homogeneous production technology adequately represents the KNR's cost structure. On the other hand, the Korean railway industry experiences sizeable overall scale economies, which result from substantial product-specific scale economies associated with passenger-kilometers and freight ton-kilometers and from scope economies associated with their joint production. In addition, the magnitude of economies of scope is influenced largely by the ratio of passenger trips, and has increased over time as the former has increased while the latter has decreased.

A triple database consisting of a number of three-column tables require high cost of query processing, whereby building a shortcut is known as an effective way to reduce the cost. It is important to figure out what shortcuts needs to be selectively built. Most shortcut selection algorithms make use of a benefit model that considers the query frequency. However they work poor to reflect the database update. In this paper, we consider a benefit model for triple databases. The model considers not only the profit of query response times but also the building and maintenance costs of the shortcuts. We apply the model to design a benefit function which can be plugged in a greedy-based shortcut selection algorithm. We perform the empirical experiments on a real-world dataset and analyze the effect of each factor employed in the benefit function.

In this paper, we propose a precise frame-level near-duplicate video matching algorithm. First, a binary frame descriptor for near-duplicate video matching is proposed. The binary frame descriptor divides a frame into patches and represent the relations between patches in bits. Seconds, we formulate a cost function for the matching, composed of matching costs and compensatory costs. Then, we roughly determine initial matchings and refine the matchings iteratively to minimize the cost function. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides efficient performance for frame-level near duplicate video matching.

The multicast routing algorithm is necessary to transmit multimedia traffic efficiently in ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) networks. In this paper, we propose the multicast routing algorithm which is based on VP/VC characteristic. The proposed algorithm is based on VP tree concept and using cost function which is based on VP/VC switching. The cost funication is composed of link cost, delay and weighting factor on delay and the weighting factor is calculated by delay sensitivity of the traffic. The proposed algorithm can choose delay bounded path which satisfies delay constraint, moreover it can choose optimal path among VPs which has the same link cost and satisfying delay constraint. With controlling weighting factor, proposed algorithm can set-up efficient path. When the weighting factor sets to be between 0.8 and 1, experimental results show that the perforance of proposed scheme is approximated to that of cost optimal algorithm and strongly delay optimized algorithm.

In this paper, the concerned existing blind equalizer convergence rate and residual inter-symbol interference using constellation reduced and cost function by separation the real part and an imaginary part, the dual structure CR-CMA(constellation Reduction CMA). The CMA methed compensates amplitude but does no compensate phase, On the other hand, The CMA method compensates both the amplitude and the phase but it has the convergence rate problem, and the MCMA method is a way to solve the phase problem of CMA method compensates both the amplitude and the phase after respectively calculating the real part and imaginary part components. Proposal a new method that the dual structure of CR-CMA, the cost function and error function and respectively calculating the real part and imaginary part components can advantages by improving the CMA and the MCMA algorithms so that the amplitude and phase retrieval and constellation reduce the residual ISI and faster convergence rate and performance is good SER (Symbol Error Ratio) was confirmed by computer simulations.
