본 논문에서는 최적화기법을 이용하여 모드매개변수를 추정하는 방법을 개발하였다. 최적화기법중 steepest descent method와 Fletcher-Powell method를 1자유도계의 시뮬레이션 데이터에 사용하여 Fletcher-Powell method가 초기값이나 계의 감쇠비에 관계없이 항상 정확한 모드매개변수를 추정함을 밝혀 내었다. 2자유도계의 시뮬레이션 데이터에 적용하였을 때도 본 방법은 정확한 모드매개변수를 추정하였다. 본 방법은 기존의 모드해석방법처럼 실제모드수보다 많은 모드수를 가정할 필요가 없고, 밀집한 모드를 분리하는 능력도 우수하였다. 본 방법을 실험 데이터에 적용하였을 때에도 만족할만한 결과를 나타내었다.

A R-S-S-R three dimensional mechanism is designed for crank-rocker type through the optimization technique. The nonlinear kinematic equation of the mechanism is formulated by adopting the concept of structural error and precision points. Taking this equation as an objective function, the required mechanism is optimally synthesized by the Fletcher-Davidon-Powell's method of optimization techniques. The structural errors due to the various positions of precision points are compared, and the results from the use of two penalty functions suggested respectively by Fiacco-McCormick and by Powell are also compared on their effectiveness. The mobility of the optimally designed mechanism is checked for the possibility of its motion, and when a mechanism is optimally designed, it is strongly suggested that the mobility must be checked on the designed mechanism.

The current procedure to design hydraulic structures in a small basin area is to estimate the probable rainfall depth using rainfall intensity formula. The estimation of probable rainfall depth has many uncertainties inherent with it. However, it has been inevitable to simplify the nonlinearity if the rainfall in practice. This study attend to address a method which can model the nonlinearity in order to derive better rainfall intensity formula for the estimation of probable rainfall depth. The results show that genetic algorithm is more reliable and accurate than trial-and-error method or nonlinear programming technique(Powell's method) in the derivation of the rainfall intensity formula.

Accurate inference of parameters of a stochastic rainfall generation model is essential to improve the applicability of the rainfall generation model which modeled the rainfall process and the structure of rainfall events. In this study, the model parameters of a stochastic rainfall generation model, NSRPM (Neyman-Scott rectangular pulse model), were estimated using DFP (Davidon-Fletcher-Powell), GA (genetic algorithm), Nelder-Mead, and DE (differential evolution) methods. Summer season hourly rainfall data of 20 rainfall observation sites within the Nakdong river basin from 1973 to 2017 were used to estimate parameters and the regional applicability of inference methods were analyzed. Overall results demonstrated that DE and Nelder-Mead methods generate better results than that of DFP and GA methods.

We present a new technique for removing interior knots of parametric B-spline curves. An initial curve is constructed by continuous $L_{\infty}$ approximation proposed by Eck and Hadenfeld. We employ Hausdorff distance to measure the shape difference between the original curve and the initial one. The final curve is obtained by minimizing their Hausdorff distance. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique with experimental results on various types of planar and spatial curves.

본 연구에서는 개념적인 강우-유출모형인 Tank 모형에 대하여 유역의 다양한 유출특성을 잘 반영할 수 있는 매개변수를 산정하는 데에 그 목적을 두었다. 이를 위한 최적화 알고리즘은 다목적 유전자 알고리즘인 NSGA-II를 선정하여 Tank 모형과 결합하였으며, 4가지의 목적함수를 대상으로 다양한 함수값을 나타내는 비지배관계의 최적군을 생산하였다. 수 백개로 나타나는 최적군의 다양한 해들 중, 특정 목적함수에 대하여서만 정도가 높거나 낮은 편협한 해들을 배제하고 두루 정도가 높은 값을 나타내는 소수의 비지배해들을 추출하기 위하여 선호적 순서화 기법이 적용되었다. 그 결과 많은 해들 중 단 4개의 해가 최우선해의 위치를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 방법론으로 최적화된 해의 적합성을 살펴보고자 국부최적화 기법인 Powell 방법과 기존에 널리 쓰여온 유전자 알고리즘인 SGA(Simple Generic Algoritm)의 결과와 비교 검정을 수행하였다. 비교한 결과 NSGA-II를 적용하여 산정된 매개변수가 4가지 목적함수 및 관측유량과의 통계치에서 두루 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 관측유량과 함께 도식하여 살펴본 결과, NSGA-II의 최우선해가 타 자동보정 기법에 비하여 상대적으로 관측치에 보다 잘 부합되는 모의유량을 계산하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper suggests a method for optimal power assignment of the satellite transponder input carriers in the Multi-level & Multi-bandwidth system. The interference and the noise effects analyzed for the optimal power assignment are intermodulation product caused by the nonlinear transponder characteristics, adjacent channel interference, co-channel interference, and thermal noise in the satellite link. The Fletcher- Powell algorithm is used to determine the optimal input carrier power. The performance criteria for optimal power assignment is classified into 4 categories according to the CNR of destination receiver earth station to meet the requirement for various satellite link environment. We have performed mathematical analysis of objective functions and their derivatives for use in the Fletcher-Powell algorithm, and presented various simulation results based on mathematical analysis. Since the satellite link, it is meaningful to model and analyze these effects in a unified manner and present the method for optimal power assignment of transponder input carriers.

A stochastic rainfall model, NSRPM (Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulse Model), is able to reflect the cluster characteristics of rainfall events which is unable in the RPM (Rectangular Pulse Model). Therefore NSRPM has advantage in the hydrological applications. The NSRPM consists of five model parameters and the parameters are estimated using optimization techniques such as DFP (Davidon-Fletcher-Powell) method and genetic algorithm. However the DFP method is very sensitive in initial values and is easily converge to local minimum. Also genetic algorithm has disadvantage of long computation time. Nelder-Mead method has several advantages of short computation time and no need of a proper initial value. In this study, the applicability of parameter estimation methods was evaluated using rainfall data of 59 national rainfall networks from 1973-2011. Overall results demonstrated that accuracy in parameter estimation is in the order of Nelder-Mead method, genetic algorithm, and DFP method.

In this paper, we propose and efficient curve reconstruction method based on the classical least-square fitting scheme. Specifically, given planar sample points equipped with normals, we reconstruct the objective curve as the zero set of a hierarchical implicit ZP(Zwart-Powell)-spline that can recover large holes of dataset without loosing the fine details. As regularizers, we adopted two: a Tikhonov regularizer to reduce the singularity of the linear system and a discrete Laplacian operator to smooth out the isocurves. Benchmark tests with quantitative measurements are done and our method shows much better quality than polynomial methods. Compared with the hierarchical bi-quadratic spline for datasets with holes, our method results in compatible quality but with less than 90% computational overhead.

Recently, deep excavation for high-rise buildings occurs frequently to accommodate the rapidly increasing population in urban area. The stability of the earth retaining structures for deep excavation becomes more critical. The behavior of the earth retaining structures should be accurately predicted in a design stage, but the predicted behavior is different from the measured data due to uncertain soil properties and problems in construction. In this study the back-analysis using Powell's optimization theory was performed to match the measured deflection and results obtained from back-analysis were presented.
