OPTIMAL WOOL FLOWS FOR MINIMIZATION OF TRANSPORT COSTS*

An optimal partition algorithm for minimization of paging costs

A novel paging scheme under delay bounds is proposed for personal communication systems. This paging scheme is independent of the location probability distributions of the mobile users and satisfies the delay bounds, while minimizing the amount of bandwidth used for locating a mobile user. The proposed paging scheme includes the optimal partition algorithm and paging procedure with respect to p...

Optimal Trajectory Generation for Energy Consumption Minimization and Moving Obstacle Avoidance of SURENA III Robot’s Arm

In this paper, trajectory generation for the 4 DOF arm of SURENA III humanoid robot with the purpose of optimizing energy and avoiding a moving obstacle is presented. For this purpose, first, kinematic equations for a seven DOF manipulator are derived. Then, using the Lagrange method, an explicit dynamics model for the arm is developed. In the next step, in order to generate the desired traject...

Optimal Capacitor Allocation in Radial Distribution Networks for Annual Costs Minimization Using Hybrid PSO and Sequential Power Loss Index Based Method

In the most recent heuristic methods, the high potential buses for capacitor placement are initially identified and ranked using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs) or power loss index (PLI). These factors or indices help to reduce the search space of the optimization procedure, but they may not always indicate the appropriate placement of capacitors. This paper proposes an efficient approach for t...

Optimal Transport with Branching Distance Costs and the Obstacle Problem

We address the Monge problem in metric spaces with a geodesic distance: (X, d) is a Polish space and dN is a geodesic Borel distance which makes (X, dN ) a possibly branching geodesic space. We show that under some assumptions on the transference plan we can reduce the transport problem to transport problems along family of geodesics. We introduce three assumptions on a given dN -monotone trans...
