In applied mathematics, highly optimized tolerance (HOT) is a method of generating power law behavior in systems by including a global optimization principle. For some systems that display a characteristic scale, a global optimization term could potentially be added that would then yield power law behavior. It has been used to generate and describe internet-like graphs, forest fire models and may also apply to biological systems. ==Example== The following is taken from Sornette's book. Consider a random variable, , that takes on values with probability . Furthmore, lets assume for another parameter : for some fixed . We then want to minimize : subject to the constraint : Using Lagrange multipliers, this gives : giving us a power law. The global optimization of minimizing the energy along with the power law dependence between and gives us a power law distribution in probability. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Highly optimized tolerance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
