We revisit some aspects of the foundations of the q-non-extensive thermostatistical formalism, which are particularly relevant to its astronomical applications. We analyse some important features of escort mean values and escort distributions, in connection with the dynamical evolution of...

This paper derives the analytical solution of arenewable resource-based Ramsey economy withcostly resource extraction. The goal is toascertain whether costly resource extractioncan induce nonlinear dynamical properties in the system. We find that the solution for a model with constant technology...

As residential energy markets open to competition, consumers can choose from a range of tariffs offered by different suppliers. We examine the relationship between the fixed charge levied on each consumer, and the variable charge per unit of energy used across all these tariffs. Data are the...
