New Paper on Optimal Tuning Systems

Larry Polansky asked me to forward this message about his recent paper "A Mathematical Model for Optimal Tuning Systems" to the Tuning list. I've taken the liberty of cross-posting it to both Tuning and Tuning math as I think it is of sufficient interest for both lists.

Polansky, L.; Rockmore, D; Johnson, K., Repetto, D. "A Mathematical Model for Optimal Tuning Systems," is now posted as 08-05-023 at
