Optimization Problems in the Development of a Monitoring Blimp for FCC-hh

This document describes several optimization problems that were solved for the development of a monitoring blimp for the FCC-hh detector as well as tests performed on the PhaseSpace motion capture system. The definition and computation of the optimization problems' objective functions is detailed; the motivation behind the choice of the GDOP function in one of the objective functions is also explained and justified. In addition, the purpose and setup of the tests of the PhaseSpace systems are outlined. The solutions to the optimization problems and results of tests are plotted and listed in tables where appropriate.
