    % Determines the optimal doping profile that minimizes base transit
    % time subject to a lower bound constraint on the current gain (beta).
    % This problem can be posed as a GP:
    %
    %   minimize   tau_B
    %       s.t.   Nmin <= v <= Nmax
    %              y_(i+1) + v_i^const1 <= y_i
    %              w_(i+1) + v_i^const2 <= w_i, etc...
    %              beta => beta_min
    %
    % where variables are v_i, y_i, and w_i.
