Abstract
The passive reflectionless transmission-line model can reproduce physiological cochlear properties. We have applied an optimization technique to obtain good parameter values that give a desired cochlear property. However, we found that, in some case, it is difficult to find the sub-optimal parameter values because of complex dependencies among parameters. In this paper, we explicitly formulate some of the cochlear properties in the reflectionless transmission-line model, and improve the optimization technique using these formulae.
