Six base stations along a corridor serve users spread between them. We set each station's transmit power. A user is served by its nearest station, and its signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio is the served power over noise plus the other stations' powers, all attenuated by distance. Raising a station's power helps its own users but interferes with everyone else's, so coverage is a non-separable tug of war and blanket maximum power is not optimal. Power also costs energy. Score is negative (covered users − energy penalty). 6-D.

The JS objective is a line-for-line port of
example_applications/cell_tower_power and agrees to floating-point
tolerance. The bars are transmit powers at the six towers; the lower curve is per-user
coverage (full where SINR clears the threshold). Cranking every tower to maximum
floods the corridor with interference and lowers coverage.
