Based on the previous analysis by Wanghongjun(2008), this paper applies Optimality Theory (OT) to the field of partial reduplication in Korea to increase its scientific validity. Toward this end, I propose an alternative analysis of Korean partial reduplication, applied as a single process of prefixation. Reduplicated words by prefixation are divided into two types: with a heavy syllable of the stem, and another with the stem. The two types of partial reduplication are closely related by the sound features. In addition, I discussed Chinese partial reduplication from a prefixation perspective within the framework of OT and performed contrastive analysis of Korean and Standard Chinese processes of reduplication by focusing on constrained rankings. As a result, the alternative analysis showed a systematic relationship among the reduplicated words in Korean and Standard Chinese. Lastly, I explained that the coronal /t/ and liquid /l/ have a special functional hierarchy in both languages. This study can be re-explained based on the framework of OT according to a few major constraints, involving MAX-BR, MAX-IO. Their rankings show the adequacy of analysis.

It is unpractical for the optimal design theory based on the given model and assumption to be applied to the real-world experimentation. Particularly, when the experimenter feels it necessary to consider multiple objectives in experimentation, its modified version of optimality criteria is indeed desired. The constrained optimal design is one of many methods developed in this context. But when the number of constraints exceeds two, there always exists a problem in specifying the lower limit for the efficiencies of the constraints because the “infeasible solution” issue arises very quickly. In this paper, we developed a sequential approach to tackle this problem assuming that all the constraints can be ranked in terms of importance. This approach has been applied to the polynomial regression model.

Response surface methodology(RSM) is a useful collection of experimentation techniques for developing, improving, and optimizing products and processes. When we are to estimate second-order regression model and optimize quality characteristic by RSM, central composite designs and Box-Behnken designs are widely in use. However, in developing cutting-edge products, it is very crucial to reduce the time of experimentation as much as possible. In this paper small-sized second-order designs are introduced and their estimation abilities are compared in terms of D-optimality, A-optimality, and variance of regression coefficients. The result of this study will be beneficial to experimenters who face experiments which are expensive, difficult, or time-consuming.

In this paper, a vector optimization problem over cones is considered, where the functions involved are $\eta$-semidifferentiable. Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are obtained. A dual is formulated and duality results are proved using the concepts of cone $\rho$-semilocally preinvex, cone $\rho$-semilocally quasi-preinvex and cone $\rho$-semilocally pseudo-preinvex functions.

English segments adopted into Korean can be divided into three types: Some English segments /$m, {\;}n, {\;}{\eta}, {\;}p^h, {\;}t^h, {\;}k^h$/ are adopted into the original sound [$m, {\;}n, {\;}{\eta}, {\;}p^h, {\;}t^h, {\;}k^h$] in Korean. Other segments /b, d, g/ appear in the voiceless stop form [p, t, k]. Generative Phonology explains the presence of the above English segments in Korean but it cannot explain why the English segments /$f, {\;}v, {\;}{\Theta}, {\;}{\breve{z}}, {\;}{\breve{c}}, {\;}{\breve{j}}$/ disappear during the adopting process. I present a set of universal constraints from the Optimality Theory proposed by Prince and Smolensky(l993) and I show how English segments differently adopted into Korean can be explained by these universal constraints such as Faith(feature). N oAffricateStop, Faith(nasal), NoNasalStop, Faith(voice), NoVoicedStop and the interaction of these constraints. I conclude that this Optimality Theory provides insights that better capture the nature of the phonological phenomena of English segments in Korean.

Collision-free trajectory planning for two robots is considered. The two robot system handled in the paper is given specified geometric paths for two robots, and the task is repeating. Then, the robot dynamics is transformed as a function of the traveled lengths along the paths, and the bounds on acceleration and velocity are described in the phase plane be taking the constraints on torques and joint velocities into consideration. Collision avoidance and time optimality are considered simultaneously in the coordination space and the phase plane, respectively. The proof for the optimality of the proposed algorithm is given, and a simulation result is included to show the usefulness of the proposed method.

In this study, a procedure for the economic design of reinforced concrete beams under several design constraints is outlined on the basis of discretized continuum-type optimality criteria (DCOC). The costs to be minimized involve those of concrete, reinforcing steel and formwork. The design constraints include limits on the maximum deflection in a given span, on bending and shear strengths, in addition to upper and lower bounds on design variables. An explicit mathematical derivation of optimality criteria is given based on the well known Kuhn-Tucker mecessary conditions, followed by an iterative procedure for designs when the design variables are the depth and the steel ratio. Self-weight of the spans is also included in the equilibrium equation of the real system and in the optimatlity criteria.

In this paper I discuss a more complicated case of 'It'-Extraposition in English in the Optimality Theory [1] by further modifying and extending the analysis done in Khym (2018) [2] in which only the 'relatively' simple cases of 'It'-Extraposition such as 'CP-Predicate' was dealt with. I show in this paper that the constraints and the constraint hierarchy developed to explain the 'relatively' simple cases of 'It'-Extraposition are no longer valid for the more complicated cases of 'It'-Extraposition in configuration of 'CP-V-CP'. In doing so, I also discuss two important theoretic possibilities and suggest a new view to look at the 'It'-Extraposition: first, the long-bothering question of which syntactic approach between P&P (Chomsky 1985) [3] and MP (Chomsky 1992) [4] should be based on in projecting the full surface forms of candidates may boil down to just a simple issue of an intrinsic property of the Gen(erator). Second, the so-called 'It'- Extraposition phenomenon may not actually be a derived construction by the optional application of Extraposition operation. Rather, it could be just a representational construction produced by the simple application of 'It'-insertion after the structure projection with 'that-clause' at the post-verbal position. This observation may lead to elimination of one of the promising candidates of '$It_i{\ldots}[_{CP}that{\sim}]_i$' out of the computation table in Khym [2], and eventually to excluding the long-named 'It'-Extraposition case from Extrsposition phenomena itself. The final constraints and the constraint hierarchy that are explored are as follows: ${\bullet}$ Constraints: $^*SSF$, AHSubj, Subj., Min-D ${\bullet}$ Constraint Hierarchy: SSF<<>>Subj.>> AHSubj.

This paper describes the application of discretized continuum-type optimality criteria (DCOC) for design of the reinforced concrete T-beams. The cost of construction as objective function which includes the costs of concrete, reinforced steel and formwork is minimized. The design constraints include limits on the maximum deflection in a given span on bending and shear strengths and optimality criteria is given based on the well blown Kuhn-Tucker necessary conditions, followed by an iterative procedure for designs when the design variables are the depth and the steel ratio. The versatility of the DCOC technique has been demonstrated by considering numerical examples which have one and five span RC T-beams.

The aim of this research is to develop the Bees Algorithm named 'the dynamic allocated Bees Algorithm' for multi-objective problem, especially in order to be suit for Pareto optimality. In addition two new neighbourhood search methods have been developed to produce enhanced solutions for a multi-objective problem named 'random selection neighbourhood search' and 'weighted sum neighbourhood search' and they were compared with the basic neighbourhood search in the dynamic allocated Bees Algorithm. They were successfully applied to an Environmental/Economic (electric power) dispatch (EED) problem and simulation results presented for the standard IEEE 30-bus system and they were compared to those obtained using other approaches. The comparison shows the superiority of the proposed dynamic allocated Bees Algorithms and confirms its suitability for solving the multi-objective EED problem.
