Solving problems with unilateral constraints by DAE methods

Arnold, Martin; Frischmuth, Kurt - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 47 (1998) 1, pp. 47-67

We study trajectories of mechanical systems with unilateral constraints under the additional assumption that always a … given number of constraints is active. A reformulation as a problem with bilateral conditions yields a drastic reduction in … the number of constraints, but in general, we are faced with regularity problems. We illustrate our approach in the …

La relazione tra struttura finanziaria e decisioni reali delle imprese: una rassegna critica dell'evidenza empirica

Bottasso, Anna - In: Giornale degli Economisti 57 (1998) 1, pp. 109-155

Theoretical literature suggests that firms’ financial structure affects their real decisions because of capital markets imperfections. Several empirical studies have been conducted to test this hypothesis. This survey illustrates the main results of this literature focusing on the effects of...

Aggregate Investment, Tobin's q and Insolvency.

Leith, C. - Business School, University of Exeter - 1998

Despite being theoretically appealing, the standard q-theory of investment performs very poorly in empirical work. This paper extends the q-theory to include the possibility that costs associated with the risk of insolvency affect the firm's investment decisions. Using aggregate data for the UK...

Constrained Markov decision processes with total cost criteria: Lagrangian approach and dual linear program

Altman, Eitan - In: Computational Statistics 48 (1998) 3, pp. 387-417

The aim of this paper is to investigate the Lagrangian approach and a related Linear Programming (LP) that appear in constrained Markov decision processes (CMDPs) with a countable state space and total expected cost criteria (of which the expected discounted cost is a special case). We consider...
