The optimal size for a minority
Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2001We investigate a setting in which members of a population, bifurcated into a majority and a minority, transact with randomly matched partners. All members are uniformly altruistic, and each transaction can be carried out cooperatively or through a market mechanism, with cooperative transactions saving on transaction costs. Externalities are introduced,

On optimal storage of books by size
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1978AbstractIn an earlier paper by Gupta and Ravindran a network model was proposed to determine the optimum number of shelves to minimize the shelving cost of a given collection of books. In this paper, it is shown that the above method does not always yield the optimal value.

Fixed-sized blocks optimization
Information Processing Letters, 1988Many programming languages offer the dynamic storage allocation facility. Currently, the simplest and very fast method of dynamic storage allocation involves blocks of a fixed size. The authors present a generalization of the fixed-size blocks method, which is a little slower than the original one, but still allows allocation and deallocation in a ...

Iteration space tiling is a common strategy used by parallelizing compilers to reduce communication overhead. We address the problem of determining the optimal tile size (which minimizes the total execution time of the program), for a particular program schema.

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1994
Summary: The paper studies the problem of determining the number and dimensions of sizes of apparel so as to maximize profits. It develops a simple one- variable bisection search algorithm that gives the optimal solution. An example is solved interactively using a Macintosh LC and Math CAD, a mathematical software package.

Optimization-based transistor sizing
IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, 1988A combined heuristic and mathematical programming approach to transistor sizing is presented. A fast heuristic algorithm is used to obtain an initial sizing of the circuit and convert the transistor sizing problem into a nonlinear optimization problem.

Size Distributions and the Optimal Size of Firms
Zeitschrift für Nationalökonomie, 1970In this chapter, we will turn to a different topic, namely the size distribution of firms 1) This is methodologically related to the subject treated in chapter 3, since — to a large extent — the same tools have been used to explain existing distributions, and there is also a further connection since one might take the size distribution of income as a ...

The Optimal Size of a Sports League [PDF]
International Journal of Sport Finance, 2009 In this contribution, based on a simple theoretical approach, we try to show that the number of teams that is optimal to a monopoly league, being a cartel of clubs and acting in the interest of the participating or insider clubs only, is smaller than the welfare optimal number of teams in a league, which also takes into account the interests of the ...

The optimal size of a posterior capsulotomy
American Intra-Ocular Implant Society Journal, 1985The optimal posterior capsulotomy diameter should be equal to the normal pupillary diameter in dark conditions to avoid glare and other undesirable optical aberrations. We studied 14 patients whose average pupillary diameter following cataract surgery was approximately 3.9 mm in scotopic conditions.

Rawlsian optimal population size
Journal of Population Economics, 1993"In this paper, I examine the implications of the Rawlsian maximin criterion for optimal population size and intergenerational allocation of resource when fertility is endogenous. I show that whenever children are better-off than their parents in laissez-faire, then the size of the population and parental bequests are also optimal according to the ...
